6 Year Old-Sexual Harassment On His Part?

Parents -- lock up your sons and daughters! From grade school to grad symposiums, school corridors are more sexually dangerous than city streets.

That's the message some parents will take away from two recent and closely connected events. It is a wrong message, based on fear mongering and bias rather than fact.

The two events: On Jan. 30, a 6-year-old Massachusetts schoolboy allegedly slipped two fingers into the back waistband of a female classmate who was in front of him in class; he said she'd poked him first. The school reported the boy to the police and the local district attorney's office for sexual harassment.

Perhaps because Massachusetts' criminal law does not apply to anyone under 7, no charges ensued. Instead, the boy was suspended from school for three days.

Do you think this boy should have been charged w/ sexual harassment? Or is that too extreme?

I think it is a little extreme. I remembering getting and giving wedgies as kids, does that constitute sexual harassment nowadays?

I would have to say that based on this article that it may be considered sexual harassment nowadays.

there is nothing sexual about that. They should treat it just as if he pushed her or hit her. This is just absurd.

You are forcing kids to learn about sexuality so young, and in a negative way

I would have to agree with this. Did you see that a child can be charged w/ a sexual harassment offense in that state at the age of 7?????? I don't think kids have the capacity to grasp the idea of sexual harassment at the age of 7.

Absolutely ridiculous! Nothing like taking away a child's innocence at age 6.

Honestly, this case pi$$es me off. It goes too far! COME ON NOW! 7 year olds do not have the mental capacity to understand whats going on.
