A 12-year-old Florida girl is facing misdemeanor battery charges after pinching a boy's butt as a joke.

News 6 reported Breana Evans, 12, pinched the boy two weeks ago to get a laugh from fellow students in between classes at Milwee Middle School in Longwood, which is near Orlando, Fla. She said it's a game a lot of students play.

Evans told the news station that she now regrets the act.

The victim told the school resource officer that he didn't want to press charges, and Evans was suspended from school.

Evans and the boy didn't know each other.

About a week ago, though, the boy's mother called police and wanted Evans arrested.

"Lord lord lordy what has this world come to -- 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," Evans' father, Ray, told the news station.

Evans' record will be dismissed when she completes a diversion program and does community service.
