Christian Adamek hanged himself on  October 2 and died from his injuries two days later – a week after he streaked  at his high school football game

He was arrested and school district  recommended he face a court hearing

If convicted of indecent exposure, he’d  have gone on sex offenders list

I've worked with hardass administrators and teachers before.  I don't know if this kid really would have gone on the sex offenders list, but after reading through the article, I have no doubt in my mind that his principal told him his life was ruined and he would be seen as a child molester for the rest of his life.

I know this kid's dad.  Not mentioned in the story.

Then maybe you can confirm this -

Someone on Reddit commented on the story and claimed to know the family well.  Said the dad and the son had a big argument about the incident and not too long afterwards is when the kid hanged himself. 

Really sad story no matter what the details are.  No 15 year old kid should be told that his life is ruined because he ran across a field naked.  Why the sight of the human body is seen as such a vile weapon I'll never know.

You've never seen my big Aunt Martha naked.

I have.

Damn this is sad.  He looks like a great kid.  They probably don't give a shit, but I hope whoever told him he was going to be a sex offender for the rest of his life is haunted by this.

This is definitely sad but I can't blame the the dad or anyone for threatening him and trying to straighten him out. Sex offender list stuff was a big stretch and it sux if he was threatened with this. "Terrorist threats" is thrown around a lot now. I heard about some kids who were charged with something like this stemming from cherry bombs on a porch.

Shot we used to do as pranks can land you in prison today. Some warranted? Yes but there is a whole lot more of it that's just bullshit. Like the 7 yr old that was taken to the police station in Foley this week when the bus driver found out he had a toy gun. Was the police station really the thing to do?

He'll no. Send the kid home, spank his ass, whatever.

Good lord I'd still be in prison.

No mailboxes were safe in my neighborhood if I got hold of some M-80's.

So, you are safe with the statute of limitations re the USPS and acts from the 1950's?

Get off my lawn or I'll beat your ass to a soda water finish

I guess a water balloon to the windshield would get me some time today. Back then it was an ass whopping from the driver.  (if he could catch me)

Why should a dad or administrator ever threaten a kid?  Especially like that?

Just be firm.  "You broke X rules, these are the consequences and here is why it was wrong." 

You don't try to scare anyone into falling into your view of what's right and what's wrong.  You teach them.

It was too late, she'd already been mooned.

Did car horns back then make that "uh-uuuuuuuuhlga" sound like on the Waltons?

Mine didn't, but it was always cold in the winter and hot in summer and my feet were always killing me.

Or, beat their ass with a piece of water hose. I know it worked on me one time.
