Voted : No, that's crazy.
Scare tactics are B.S.
Voted : The teacher needs a good smack in the ass.
Since when was a smack on the butt cheek considered sexual? Jocks do it to each other all the time. 
OOPS! "in the ass" 
I meant "on the ass". 
(what was I thinking?)
Voted : No, that's crazy.
of course. we live in a victim's world. one little thing happens and all of a sudden everyone's on the bandwagon freaking out and over reacting. tools. check out the news. one incident no matter how remote and no matter how astronomically high the odds are that it could happen again and there's some dork congress person talking about passing a law. the worlds gone mad. mad i tell you! 
exactly bubba. imagine if i cried harassment every time you poked me in the ass?

We live in strange times. His only crime was being a Royal Ranger at his Pentecostal church.
You know, the more I think about it, the more I think he should have sent up the river.
Voted : All the School Officials need a smack in the *ss
There seems to be a shortage of common sense going around these days...
Voted : All the School Officials need a smack in the *ss
I just got here.
I'll be leaving now...
Well, after I say this.
Hasn't anyone there ever heard of sitting down and talking?
Voted : All the School Officials need a smack in the *ss
for stupidity.
Voted : Yes, he sexually harassed the girl.
definitely.
one, the kid should have been educated at home about appropriate behavior. two, his "record" will reflect at what age this happened, so I doubt anyone would label him a molestor/predator, unless he repeats the behavior.
re: calling the police, I think they were just covering their own butts, as long as the kid wasn't taken to jail, I don't see any harm.
I bet he won't do THAT again.

so lcd you think a 6 year old kid is really capable of sexual harassment? it was one instance. ever think that in his mind it was like spanking? you know sort of like how some parents spank or say they'll spank. i seriously doubt he had anything sexual on his mind.
absurd to think he did.

yeah and a guy like you thinks 6 year olds are sexually harassing each other. what does that say about your mind. 
" oh relax. you have your opinion and i have mind. snot ass."
typical reaction for you.

Voted : Zero tolerance does not mean Zero Good Judgment.
Just think of the stuff we did to each other when I was a kid. We'd all be doing hard time if they had policies like this back then. And yet most of us turned out OK, not "Traumatized" by our experiences.
I think it's great that schools are trying to teach kids to be kinder to each other now. In my own past, the attitude was more like "kids will be kids, there's nothing we can do about it." However, there has to be a better balance between ignoring immature behavior and criminalizing it. That's going to take some legal counter-actions by folks like this kid's parents.
A little boy pulled my pants down in the first grade. I was embarrassed. I got over it. I don't understand what the big deal is. These people are SIX YEARS OLD, for godsakes!

Voted : No, that's crazy.
More PC nonsense. He was only playing & fooling around as most 6 year old boys' would do. He is too young to even know about the sexual connotations of his action. Crazy.
switcheroo: What if the girl had smacked the boy's bottom? Would the same rules apply?

I think it was a little too much. I think a harsh speech from the teacher or principal would have been enough. That's what they did when I was in school and everyone turned out fine.
I see what LCD's saying though. He should have been taught better at home before he acted out in school.
the fact is a 6 year old boy or girl does not comprehend sexual harassment. first of all, harassment denotes a pattern. it is never a single event per se. it is a pattern. to even think a little boy has that mentality is sick. or a girl.

he may have been. like i pointed out, spanking and child rearing are connected. how many parents say "you'll get a spanking if you don't behave." did anyone think that all this poor little boy had on his mind was a spanking? if we're that ready to hang out a 6 year old boy, my decision to move to europe is already made.
What's spanking have to do with it? You can teach a child without spanking them. If you instill values rather than instilling fear of punishment, you'll never have to worry about whether or not to spank.
As for sexual harassment from a 6 year old, most don't know the meaning of it, true. But there's some out there who have minds more dirty than we can imagine, thanks to their parents who thinks it's funny.
I dated a guy in highschool who's step father was like that. If his kids learned anything from him, they're probably in prison now for sexual assault.
what does spanking have to do with it? probably more than sexual harassment. read the ballot again. this kid. this freaking 6 year old kid, "smacked" the other kid's behind. who in their right mind jumps to the conclusion that it was sexual harassment? two 6 year olds? come on.
I can't come to a conclusion either way because I don't know in what sort of context the kid "smacked" his classmate. All I know about this case is from what that article reported. He could have smacked her to be mean, or he could have smacked her because he sees his daddy do it to his momma when he's had too many beers. Whatever the cause, he should have been taught better.
Call it "sexual harassment" or not, but there are kids out there who engage in activities with sexual connotations, even though they hardly know what sex is. I've seen my share of them while working with kids. I even talked to a man one time who's foster child bent down in front of him after dinner one time and tried to unzip his zipper so she could perform oral sex. Why? Because the child had been taught and trained that way.
Yes, it's rare and we don't normally think of 6 year olds sexually harassing another person. But it does happen.
i see your point grumps. its hard for me to think in those terms with a 6 year old. but you do have valid points.
