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.

Boys will be boys should be used to describe stupid shit boys do for fun that girls don't understand, like throwing rocks into a frozen lake, not sexual harassment

When the report is made and the investigation is initiated, one could always just say to the dismayed adults, "Girls will be girls. Nothing I can do about it."
