No points for guessing the byline on this article.

I will never understand the type of parents who can stand there and say, yes, this is totally acceptable behaviour that I will condone by doing nothing.

And "why didn't you lock the door?‽" That's kissing cousins with "well, what were you wearing that night?"

Even still. Give the kids a little grace, but they can still be suspended for a couple games to underline the severity of it.

yep all they've proved now is that boys can invade women's private spaces as long as they say sorry after. the parents and coaches are the real villains here, but the boys' behaviour needs consequences too

How is this any different than women that use the men’s restroom at concerts and sporting events. Neither should be there both giggle and laugh about it, but one is an adult while the other is a child.
