⚖️ Kansas Hazing Laws – What Allen County Families Need to Know

Kansas Anti-Hazing Statute (K.S.A. 21-5414)

Hazing is a crime in Kansas. The law defines hazing as:

“Any activity which recklessly or intentionally endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student for the purpose of initiation, admission into, affiliation with, or as a condition for continued membership in a group or organization.”

Penalties in Kansas:

• Class B misdemeanor (up to 6 months in jail, $1,000 fine)
• If serious bodily injury occurs: Felony (up to 1 year in prison)
• If death occurs: Felony (up to 3.5 years in prison)

🚨 Consent is NOT a defense in Kansas.
Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the law says consent does not matter—hazing is still illegal.
