"The Wacky Molestation Adventure" is the sixteenth episode of the fourth season of the animated television series South Park, and the 64th episode of the series overall. "The Wacky Molestation Adventure" originally aired in the United States on December 13, 2000 on Comedy Central. The episode follows the children of South Park, who remove all adults from the town by claiming that they molested them. With the whole town to themselves, they create a new society, but it quickly deteriorates and two separate groups are formed. Much of the episode's plot is inspired by the 1984 film Children of the Corn, based on the Stephen King short story.
In the summer of 2013, fans voted The Wacky Molestation Adventure as the best episode of Season 4.
Cartman has four tickets to the "Raging Pussies" concert and the boys all want to go. When Kyle asks his parents for permission, they characteristically prohibit him from going. After relentless negotiation, Kyle's mom sarcastically agrees that Kyle can go if he cleans out the garage, shovels all the snow from the driveway and brings democracy to Cuba, all of which Kyle manages to achieve, the third by writing a heartfelt letter to Fidel Castro (similar to a musical number from The Year Without A Santa Claus). It is later announced on the news that Kyle has brought democracy to Cuba and American tourists are now allowed in. Despite his success, his parents still refuse to let him go. In his fury, he questions his parents' authority and angrily wishes that he had no parents at all.
When Kyle shares his frustration with his friends, Cartman suggests that he call the police and tell them that his parents have been "molestering" him, which will make them go away (a trick he played on his mother's ex-boyfriend). After some practice to get the accusation right, Kyle makes the call and the police arrest his parents, despite Sheila's tearful pleas that she nor Gerald did such a thing as they are taken away. The boys then go to the concert and Kyle later hosts a party at his parent-free home and dances in his white underwear to the song "Old Time Rock and Roll" (a reference to a classic scene in Risky Business). Seeing how liberated they are without parents, all of the children begin calling the police on their parents and teachers resulting in the adults being taken to prison. Even Shelley, Stan's sister, is arrested after she is about to attack Stan as he celebrates their parents' arrest (though it is never shown what happens to her while the adults are in jail). Before long, nearly all of the town's adults have been arrested, the rest having moved away over fears of being arrested and only the children populate the town. With the adults gone and the town in the children's control, Stan declares, "It's ours."
