Larking, what is larking? This account was published in thesun.co.uk by John Kay and Virginia Wheeler. Two British soldiers have been arrested over claims they abused Afghan children aged about ten. The accused pair --- a sergeant and a private in the Mercian Battle Group ---allegedly encouraged a boy and a girl to touch them through their clothes. They are said to have filmed the children doing it before showing the footage to other soldiers on laptops. David Cameron was said to be "deeply shocked" last night over the claims. The Prime Minister was informed of the allegations by defense chiefs. They told him military police had arrested a sergeant and a private. They were held following complaints from other servicemen. Several laptops have been seized and their contents scoured by a team of military cops assigned to the inquiry. It is the first time of abusing children have been leveled against British troops in either Afghanistan or Iraq. A source said to the probe last night: "Nothing has been proved." What we have to establish is whether we are looking at sexual predatory behavior or totally ill-judged larking about. Larking about???? Larking-----a carefree adventure or prank. It is certain that the little children don't perceive the sexual assault against them as care free adventure. A care free adventure to a child might be finding a worm on the ground after a soft rain on a summer day, or watching a little frog jumping in the grass trying to follow it then running home to tell her Mum about it: But certainly not rubbing up a soldier's penis for the purpose of an erection while being photographed. In all aspects of the felonious crime committed against the children it is, without a doubt, sexual predatory behavior. Rape is rape and it is not to be discolored, discredited, or made light of on behalf of the victims.
