#MeToo inspires false accusation in eighth grade leading to "Crucible"-like abuse of boy

Article here. Excerpt:

'Following in the footsteps of George Carlin as the class clown can have serious consequences in the “#MeToo” era, 13-year-old eighth grader Keith Bailey recently learned. He thought he was in trouble when he made a wisecrack about a classmate looking “like a school shooter,” but that was nothing compared with what changing his avatar would trigger. Apparently, teen girls have figured out how to make claims, and ruin the life of anyone they get mad at, thanks to democrats.

On Wednesday afternoon, the vice principal of a Colorado Springs middle school dragged Keith from the classroom and marched him back to her office for a secret two-hour interrogation. Administrators did not notify his parents or allow them to be present while he was questioned, just like in the play, “The Crucible.”

The media can have a powerful influence on young minds, especially “drama” loving teen girls. Dianne Feinstein would be so proud at what she accomplished as a role model.

“They kept asking him the same things over and over,” Keith’s father, Dennis Bailey relates. “They were just intimidating him, asking him the same thing in different ways, asking what he did to these girls and why he did it to them.” Did what? Nobody will say.
...
There is a clue though. The night before Keith was arrested, “one of the girls’ parents phoned the Baileys.”

“Her mother gave us a call and said she just found out that Keith had been inappropriately touching her daughter and she just wanted to let us know.” The woman “obviously believed her daughter but she said it happened at the football game last week.”

“The problem with that is, my wife was at the football game the whole time. My son was there with his girlfriend and my wife didn’t want him unattended, so she had eyes on him the whole time.”

Mrs. Bailey told the girls mother, “that’s funny, I was there watching the whole time, he didn’t leave my sight and he was nowhere near your daughter.”
...
Dennis fumes, “I’m furious personally. I’m furious at these kids, and at their parents for allowing them to do something like this. I’m furious at the school for not even seeming like they are giving him a chance to defend himself, and the way they tried to intimidate him. It seems really shady how they wouldn’t call us until two hours after they started interrogating him.”

The family pieced together the events leading up to the arrest and traced it back to a week prior. The family tells the media, “Keith and his friends were sitting around his house talking about online anonymity. Keith decided to change his Snapchat avatar into a black Bitmoji character.”

Bitmoji’s are design it yourself avatars to identify you with an icon image in social media platforms.

“One of his friends, a girl, immediately noticed and within minutes told him he needed to change it back. She said it was insensitive and racist for a white person to use a black character as an avatar.” The young woman was not about to let the social offense go unpunished.

At school the next day, “the girl started telling everyone he was a racist.” That was only the beginning. “The harassment and accusations persisted for days.”'
