Teen Arrested For Changing Classmate's Name in Yearbook to 'Masturbate'

http://gawker.com/teen-arrested-for-...book-510131974



A high school student from Columbia, Missouri, was arrested on suspicion of felony property damage after she allegedly changed a classmate's last name in the yearbook to "Masturbate."

17-year-old Kaitlyn Booth's "prank" affected some 720 yearbooks — known the Hickman Cresset — and would have set Hickman High School back over $41,000, but a last-minute decision was made to spend 12 hours placing stickers over the student's name instead.

The victim, Raigan Mastain, told the Columbia Tribune she was "kind of annoyed" at Kaitlyn's actions, but "wasn't that upset."

Raigan and Kaitlyn were both members of the yearbook committee, and got along fine before the incident.

"I was disappointed, but I didn't know her well enough to be personally affected," Raigan said.

Despite Kaitlyn's attempt to humiliate her for reasons yet unknown, Raigan told the Tribune she hoped her classmate's wouldn't be permanently stained by "typical high school" shenanigans.

"What she did wasn't right," she said, "but I don't think it should affect her for the rest of her life."

I agree entirely, but at the same time she shouldn't get a 'kids will be kids' free pass. She's 17. 10 year olds get that pass... not 17 year olds.

Agree 100%

Suspended maybe but ARRESTED??? WTF???

This country is going down the path of Stalin or Mao with all the police state tactics. Zero common sense and the "zero tolerance" policies in place were created by people with zero IQ's IMHO

I'll stop ranting now as this crossed in the DC forum

Today we have a teen sneaking in the word "masturbate" into her yearbook. Tomorrow we'll have students sacrificing newborns at Harpo's.

That is also the largest high school in the state of Missouri as well.

Should be no more than maybe a suspension or kicked from the graduation ceremony or something along that line. I would probably have to find the person who decided to call the cops, kick their ass, then say "You want to call the cops, I will give you something to call the cops about."

The bigger concern is why they put all those kids 80 stories in the air on a depression-era steel girder just to get a yearbook photo.

I graduated from Hickman back in 81. Moved to CoMo during my Jr. Year and couldn't believe that they were the fighting Kewpies. Back to topic I bet the charges will be reduced and she won't have a felony on her record. But yeah, this could have been dealt with without police involvement.

I don't get it, there's no actual written law that says you can't change a classmates name to masturbate. She was hootied.....
