How do I not quote the whole of Dan Savage's commentary here? Okay, I'll omit the first line:
Jesus freaking Christ!
A-men!
I mean ... wow!
For the actual news report, see Mary Niederberger's article for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
I bet the Catholics are kicking themselves for not thinking up this scheme.
At least it ain't that ol' time religion.
Holy sh@t.
Talk about coming unto Christ ....

Niederberger, Mary. "Police expect no charges in youth group diaper skit". Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. December 8, 2007. See http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/07342/840222-55.stm
Putting horny 14 year-old boys in diapers and then plopping them on the laps of teenage girls for a little spoon- and bottle-feeding… thus are life-long fetishes born. Not that I have anything against fetishes or the kind of formative life experiences that create ‘em. Far from it. I live in the house that fetishes bought.
But still. Could you imagine the uproar from Christian groups if, say, a gay youth group did something similar? Or a gay-straight student alliance?
A spokesman for the Christian youth group says they’ve done this for years—they also do a "skit" where girls eat chocolate pudding out of adult diapers—and that Ms. Metz' son "had fun" in that diaper. I’ll bet he did—and odds are good that he’ll be having fun in diapers for the rest of his life.

For the actual news report, see Mary Niederberger's article for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Terry Swenson, national vice president of communications for Young Life, said that skits that involve teens dressing like an infant are among those used by the organization, which has existed for 60 years.
He declined to comment on the Mt. Lebanon teens being asked to undress before they put on the diapers and bibs or whether he thought the Mt. Lebanon skit was appropriate.
"We are careful in trying to not embarrass kids and put them in awkward situations." he said.
He said his organization "gives its full support" to Mr. Wandrisco.
"O.J. has been there for a long time. He is a trusted person in the community who has the kids' best interests in mind," Mr. Swenson said.
