Cherie Blair in boy 'slap' probe

Cherie Blair was in Scotland when the alleged incident took place

Cherie Blair has been investigated by police over claims that she motioned to slap a 17-year-old boy.
Strathclyde Police took statements from witnesses to the alleged incident, which occurred at a national school sports event in Glasgow last Saturday.

Mrs Blair was reported to have made a playful gesture to a boy who made a "rabbit ears" gesture behind her head.

Police said "it had been established no incident had taken place" and that the inquiry into the matter was now closed.

Six detectives were sent to investigate after officials from the Child Protection in Sport Unit complained to police.

1. 17 year old . . .

. . . "boy"? I imagined like a six year old when I read the headline. If I called a 17 year old a "boy" around here I'd probably get my arse kicked.

2. however, a 17 yr. old is still a boy

oh, he can make a baby and join the military and kill people - but - he's still has a boy's mind.

3. Boy, the luxury of a very low crime rate

is that you can investigate someone raising their hand in threat as many a women do every day as a soft threat to stop something.

Not saying it was a high point, but an investigation? How quaint.
