Gee Whiz: Mom Gets ($2,500) Fine After Toddler Pees in Yard [UPDATED]

I didn't read the whole thread, but people please.....

Had this been a statue of a boy peeing, no one would have a single problem. Including the pig.

Uh oh....better set this pig on Amazon before the whole world goes down the drain (pun intended).

The ticket isn't just for public urination.

The officer later amended the complaint to contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Oblein said he is waiting for word from the district attorney’s office as to whether they will pursue the complaint, but he doesn’t think it will go any further. Read more: newsok.com...

OMG, can't believe the first few replies are in support of law enforcement of 3 year olds urinating on their parents land. I'm guessing this was in the USA, right, where you get fined for brown grass and no doubt having crooked teeth

This whole thing is soooo wrong in soooo many ways.

So glad to live in Europe where pissing in your own garden is considered beneficial to plants and not a f'n crime.

No I'm NOT blaming the child...After all from what i've read on this thread the poor kid

doesn't have much of an example to follow, what with all these 'macho' men determined

to wave their organs about, seeing who can pee further, higher, longer in an exhibitionary

unsanitary manner....Do they never grow up??


I'm done with the obnoxiousness displayed on this thread

I agree with you.

All this does is make people hate the system more.

Either that or it makes them more subservient and blind and .... 1984 here we come. I hate to use 1984 as an example, but any police state system will do. Authoritarianism. Tyranny.

We may as well create robots to replace us. They'll be better in every way. Robots love to follow rules. That's their whole purpose in life. Humans are sloppier and make too many mistakes.

But that's not exactly how it will happen...

We'll become more and more like robots and lose our emotions and spontaneity. Robots won't replace us, we'll just slowly transform to become like them as we merge with their nature.

The officer went a bit over board on the ticket, yes, but at the same time, based off of what could be stated, or not stated, as there was no indication, is what was the mothers reaction when the officer stopped and knocked on the door or approached her about such. If she blew up and started to get irate or even have no manners, It appears that it escalated badly and ultimately that the officer issued a ticket based off of what all transpired. But there is one other little detail that is over looked, the actual law in the state of Oklahoma as follows:

A. Every person who willfully and knowingly either:
1. Lewdly exposes his or her person or genitals in any public place, or in any place where there are present other persons to be offended or annoyed thereby; provided, however, for purposes of this section, a person alleged to have committed an act of public urination shall be prosecuted pursuant to Section 22 of this title unless such act was accompanied with another act that violates paragraphs 2 through 4 of this subsection and shall not be subject to registration under the Sex Offenders Registration Act;
2. Procures, counsels, or assists any person to expose such person, or to make any other exhibition of such person to public view or to the view of any number of persons, for the purpose of sexual stimulation of the viewer;
3. Writes, composes, stereotypes, prints, photographs, designs, copies, draws, engraves, paints, molds, cuts, or otherwise prepares, publishes, sells, distributes, keeps for sale, knowingly downloads on a computer, or exhibits any obscene material or child pornography; or
4. Makes, prepares, cuts, sells, gives, loans, distributes, keeps for sale, or exhibits any disc record, metal, plastic, or wax, wire or tape recording, or any type of obscene material or child pornography,

shall be guilty, upon conviction, of a felony and shall be punished by the imposition of a fine of not less than Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) nor more than Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00) or by imprisonment for not less than thirty (30) days nor more than ten (10) years, or by both such fine and imprisonment.

So while the officer and the situation may seem wrong, the law is very clear cut in this case.
The final question has to be asked: Had the young child not been in full public view at the time, then would this have been a news worth event?

You're kidding right?

How is a 3 year old being lewd by emptying their bladder in the garden?

Lewd: Preoccupied with sex and sexual desire; lustful. b. Obscene; indecent.

Obviously it isn't sexually preoccupied action, and if you guys think this is obscene or indecent .... welcome to America, Land of the Pee, Home of the Prude!

A ticket. How light, he exposed himself in public, what if my 3yo saw his winki? She could be traumatized for life. Some one put that boy on the Sex Offender Registery.

As far as adults setting better examples that's just silly

Our boys grew up in the wild and went to a small town public school. They never peed in the playground.

They're now grown professional men living/working in Denver. Despite their upbringing they have no problem refraining from pissing in public.

People need to lighten up. I'm so glad I live in the country. In fact tonight the hubby and I will get naked, go out on our upper deck and hot tub the night away. There's a good chance the hubby will pee off the deck...so watch out below.

I can just shake my head at this article, and some of the replies...... Sheez people, get a frigging life, get comfortable with your own bodily functions. No wonder the whole world is laughing behind their hands at the Americans.....

Sheez, every 3-year old boy that I have ever known (myself included) just loved peeing outside. It is a phase that they go through.

In all seriousness, it's been my experience that for whatever reason males seem to prefer peeing outside.

I don't think it has anything to do with being macho and waving the thing around, my hubby's long past that.

With all the prostate issues these days I wonder if there isn't something to it?

Forget the urinals maybe our bathrooms need to be more like a rain forest.

Geez. I Google mapped this place. (follow all the links) This house isn't even in town. It is on a dead end street in farm country.

Piedmont Oklahoma has a website. The City Ordinances can be found there. There is no ordinance against public urination. That's why the ticket was amended to a state charge.

They have a police department that consists of 10 full time officers and 6 reserve officers. (I presume the reserve could be called out but don't really ride the streets on a full time basis.)

Most departments have
Chief
Captain
Lieutenant
Sergeant
Patrol Officers

I would think the only person who doesn't .patrol in this town is the Chief so that leaves 9 cops to cover the area on a 24 hour basis. We can figure 2 days off for each cop so that leaves about 2 cops per shift.

My question is, what is this officer doing parked on a dead end street during the day miles outside of the main district of town? There has got to be something more to this than just "dumb" but I could be wrong.

.

Annnnnnd.....

This is one of the reasons I don't ever want to live in Oklahoma.

I spent a week there about a year and a half ago. Such an odd place. OKC is nothing but strip malls and chain restaurants. It's a complete service industry economy. Oklahoma is also flat, brown and full of some of the most conservative people I have ever encountered.

I was albe to buy a pack of cigarettes, a sixer of beer, a bag of chips and a half gallon of ice cream for less than $20. The check-out lady at Wallgreens didn't seem happy when I said, "All that for $20? Man I feel like I'm in Mexico!"

But I digress. No thanks, you guys in Oklahoma can keep it.

Hey no, don't you bash on the sacred young male ritual of pee-off competitions!

Once you graduate from that, urine artwork in snow is the next logical step.

BTW, your avatar creeps me out! That entire commercial on TV creeps me out. Dogs should *NOT* have human teeth! My girlfriend teases me everytime that commercial comes on.

(Just trying to inject a little humor here into the discussion)

Wow - after getting past page 2? Damn if I'm not glad I hosted this thread! It's got some of the (worst) and BEST responses I've seen here on ATS in in ages.

That being stated? Get ready with your speed dial 911 you sheeples! I too am heading out to go tinkle. Right now. ON MY YARD!

shepee

peace

This is terrible. I understand no one wants to see anyone's junk, but really? A baby? I would like to believe that it would be more understanding because of such circumstances.

I have a 9yr old brother and when he was learning he would pee on the tree out back. Haha it was funny, but more importantly, he didn't go in his pants.

Now if the child was peeing in the middle of the road, that would be a different story

My wife gets mad at me cause I'm 29 and I'd rather pee outside than in the bathroom. Don't have to hear the wife complain that it splashes up on the toilet seat. I also enjoy writing my name on the side of houses and garages with pee. People need to keep out of others business. I agree if your going to pee outside go behind a tree. I just do it in the wide open don't want to see it look away.

Star for peeing on houses.

Awe yeah!

I'm pretty sure that everybody that commented in this thread has taken a leak under extraordinary circumstances. We are talking about a kid....

I don't care if he pissed on the cop.... it is a kid.....

America really needs to get over it's fear of the penis... vagina... so on...... We've all got em,, we all use em...

What the hell is wrong with everybody?

People are just generally stupid in this country... It makes me just want to give up... But I can't. I have to make sure my nieces and nephew grow up with some sense of tolerance for people doing what people have done since there were people.
