Freeze tag during recess seldom raises eyebrows, but a variation of the game known as "rape tag" among students at a Minnesota elementary school has alarmed administrators and parents.
Described similar to freeze tag, except that a person had to be humped to be unfrozen.
While there's been no recurrence on the playground, Sprung said that he chose to send letters home to quell rumors and speculation apparently fueled by Facebook postings.
He defended the school's handling of the matter: "I think in terms of extinguishing the game, the school and the staff did an excellent job."
Since the letter went home, Sprung said, he's been contacted by about 15 to 20 parents, some of whom were upset about having to discuss the sensitive topic with their children.
