6 year old now sexual harassment on his record....

[thyme4change]

I was under the impression that he was allowed to return to school because his 3 day suspension was up.  

I've read the boy's version, and the girl's version, and I think this boy is going to have more trouble in the near future.  Getting suspended twice before Christmas of your 1st grade year is harsh.  And the fact that he sat there and said the girl liked it - either he thinks if he lies enough he will get away with it, or he doesn't even have a 6-year version of reality.  I hope this experience will shake his mother into action - which I doubt.  Even if the kissing was a little exaggerated by the girl's account - it still sounds like the boy was well aware his kisses were not welcome.

Seriously - how is him claiming that she likes it and calls him her boyfriend when she has complained several times about it much different than "I could tell she wanted it, even though she said 'no'."   

[mmhmm]

I see it as a simple case of a little boy who has not learned to discipline himself at all.  Like thyme, I can see trouble in this kid's future if he doesn't learn to obey the rules and stay out of trouble.  The publicity his stupid mother has brought his way isn't going to help him one bit.  I shudder to think of the treatment he's going to get from the other kids.

I ìmagine 'no' means 'yes' early on for some future rapists.

I can already tell you the treatment he is getting from other kids. It carries over into other classes, especially PE. Children that others shun because of their behavior have to sit out during partner games because I cannot, legally, force any child to be another's partner. Usually when the offending child goes home and complains and I get a call from mommy, when I explain this, the parent actually finally does something about their child's behavior. When THEIR child suffers because of bad choices, then they get involved. If others suffer because their child makes bad choices, tough.

So rapists don't rape when their victim says no?

I can see that point to some degree.  I don't like the introduction of "sexual harassment" however at the ripe old age of 6.  To me, it's just plain old violating the golden rule of life: keep your hands to yourself.  And I agree- it's going to be an issue if the kid isn't careful.  Where the school screwed up was in bringing the sexual harassment hysteria to the 1st grade.  

[mmhmm]

Agreed, paul.  This wasn't a case of sexual harassment.  A 6-year-old isn't sexual.  That's just not biologically possible.  It was harassment, but sex had nothing to do with it.

i took your statement as implying that the kid was a future rapist.

[mmhmm]

As I see it, this is indicative of how over-stating a case (particularly, in the thread's title) can result in a bunch of ridiculous argument that leads nowhere. This kid isn't going to have a "record" as a sexual predator.  The very thought is asinine.  The school may keep a record of misbehaviors on the part of a student, but that record isn't something that will be available to the public.  Heck, it's probably expunged if no further incidents of troublesome behaviors present; especially, for something done at this age.  There was no need to get anybody's britches in a bunch over this.  The boy's mother decided to do that. Her choice will cause the boy far more trouble than anything the school might have done.  The only good thing that might come out of it all is the boy learning he can't just do whatever he wants to whomever he wants whenever he wants.  That, I'm afraid, remains to be seen.

Then you would be wrong. Because I originally used the plural of rapist and never mentioned this kid, did I.
