It does. My ex got a bad infection and ended up having his ear drum burst. He actually cried. And pain doesn't get to him...he's a pain junkie. It was bad.

owwwwww, i'm cringing :(

Hazing Laws
 

44 states have laws prohibiting hazing. Every state has a law prohiting the intentional, negligent, or reckless injury of another person. Many of those hazing laws, Florida included, specifically state that the "victim's" consent is not a defense. Why?

We tell every prospective member that we do not haze. This creates in the mind of that person a belief that we will not hurt them. We also tell them that they must trust us. The combination of a promise and the requirement to trust results in a reliance that no harm will come.

Civil courts in many parts of the country have also opined that one cannot "consent" to a harmful activity when in the process of trying to fit in, be a part of the group, and proving oneself.

The bottom line is that no matter what you or I may believe SHOULD be allowed, hazing is prohibited by every campus, every glo and the civil laws of every state and the criminal laws of most.

Yes, this is what I was thinking --- the policies I have seen of various campuses and groups all have consequences for both hazers and "hazees". I didn't understand how the legal system had it set up, since apparently it only punishes one side (and IMO, hazing cannot exist without two sides). Judge Mitch, thank you for your explanation --- that was very informative and helped a lot! :)

Consent among so called Adults is not always a defense especially when a person is either violated or harmed.

In this case, "The Pledges/Pledge" were harmed!

it is usually stated by either the School or The GLO that Hazing is not allowed!

This is basically assault or bodily harm on a person. If it is with a weapon such as a paddle, then it is with a weapon and a felony. That makes it prison time!

Now I am sure these members will come out of prison worse than when they went in!:confused:

Not smarter but vindictive.:o

Tom, good Lord.......read the two posts above you. They weren't talking about "consent" as defense for the hazers. They were shedding light on the fact that both the hazers and the one who gets hazed can get into trouble on some campuses.

No stuff, they are in prison!

So, what the heck is your problem?:rolleyes:

I don't even know why I respond to you. Your comprehension skills are about as good as a dead prairie dog.

WOW, is this a mind set physco test?:eek:

Speaking of Bob Barker, please remember to spay and neuter your crazy people.

Also, I think it's ridiculous that the law doesn't allow adults to consent to being hazed and paddled if that's what they're into.

ZIPPY ZAMBONI!!

Yes, this is a physco test.

And, I am Impresseedeed!:rolleyes:
