ORLANDO (CBSMiami) - A 12-year-old girl is facing misdemeanor battery charges after she pinched a boy's butt in school.

Breana Evans, 12, said pinching someone's butt and laughing at their reaction is a game that a lot of the kids play at her school, Milwee Middle in Longwood, and that she thought it was a joke.

Evans was suspended.  The boy told the school resource deputy he didn't want to press charges, according to the incident report.

But then the boy's mother got involved and told deputies she wanted Evans prosecuted for battery.

"I regret it because I didn't know it would lead to this," Evans said. "I feel like it's just stupid, just a stupid charge that shouldn't have to happen."

"Lord lord lordy what has this world come to," said Evan's father Ray. "Kids can't even be a kid and that's basically what it is, she's 12 years old, she was acting like a 12 year old child."

Ray Evans said he thinks it's an overreaction from the mother of the boy who wanted to press charges.

"I'm sorry my kid touched your kid but I'm sorry because you need some help I think, too overprotective, let your kid be your kid he might get some friends and that's all I have to say," Evans said.

The charge against Evans will be dismissed and wiped from her record if she completes community service, passes her drug tests, her school classes and finishes a diversion program.
