>"Girl Trap? The game goes like this: a group of boys perch on the monkey bars
like hungry raptors, peer down and select a target, preferring ultrafeminine
girls with flowing locks and dresses. Once a girl is in their sights, they take
aim with imaginary lasers and "freeze" her. The 4- and 5-year-old boys discuss
>tying her up, bashing her head, burying her in a pit, making her motionless and
powerless."
