You call this a Sexual Predator???

Times change. Apparently people don't realize this.

Also, this kid will not be labeled as a sexual predator when he grows up. Or even next year. The title of this topic is dumb.

Bully

It's so stupid!
My nephew lost a job when he was 19 after being accused of harrassment. He has always been a hugger, he hugs everybody! Well, I guess he hugged the wrong person one time. Was NEVER told or warned that it was unwelcome and he was out. You just never know for sure.

Well, when you're on a job, any kind of touching is off limits. Simply because it could lead to a lawsuit that could cost the company a ton of money. So yea, while he may be affectionate, he also needs to know what's socially acceptable. Stepping into someone's comfort zone and touching them, even if it's just a friendly hug, is not something that is going to fly at any job site, unless your job is to hug other people at work.

PC gone awry.

Political correctness gone mad.

Fight it honey.

I think Hunter learned a valuable life lesson through this: The only women you can ever trust in your lifetime is your mom.

Lulz aside, I'm willing to bet my rack that the kid didn't learn a thing from it at six.

Well regardless of the offense, I don't personally believe that suspension from school teaches a child anything anyway.

I don't believe a child that young has the mental capacity to understand sexual harassment.

Maybe he wants a new career, and he's working as an intern for Samantha?

I'll play devils advocate....

The news never tells the whole story, and I'm sure school officials are in a position of confidentiality and unable to fully discuss it. That said, what other choices do schools have, the newest litigation shows that schools got sued for "Not protecting kids" from an incident very similar. This is nothing new, when I was in grade school we had a kisser, who made us all very uncomfortable and they finally had to remove the kid. He wasn't "labeled" anything, because it just wasn't the times back then to do so. But, I'm sure the mother of the girl doesn't want her daughter subjected to such behavior either, and no mother of a young girl does.

Before getting up in arms over a new story, maybe it's a better idea to address what is happening in our own lives, our own experiences, and our own world first. School are in a tough position of having to meet everyones expectations all the time, not everyone is going to be right, not everyone is going to be happy. Had the mother of the girl gone to the media with "my daughter is repeatedly sexually harassed at school and administration is doing nothing about it" there are just as many people who would be just as upset.

It's a sue happy world, if anything, our children need to be taught that unless physical contact is mutual keep your hands to yourself, simple as that.

This is the second incident of a school being ridiculous. A 6 year old has no clue, he is doing what he sees others do, what the school should do is talk to the boy and the parents and explain that unfortunately you can't do that in school. IDIOTS. This PC crap has gone way too far and people are ridiculous about it. I would think the school is now probably under a lot of fire from different people telling them what idiots they are.

What is worse is that in the High Schools, violence and other behavior is being ignored because the schools don't want it to get into the news that the school is not in control. My daughters school had 2 incidences of students hitting teachers and the school covered it up and not only that told the teachers they were not allowed to involve police. So the school is allowing dangerous behavior to continue just to protect its reputation and other schools are going too far to protect themselves. Either way it is the kids that get hurt in the end.

I just hope the parents at the school and in other neighborhoods stand up and do something.

Ok, that is BEYOND ridiculous. First off, a kiss on the hand by a child(or adult) is not sexual in nature. It's pretty cute actually. Second, the little girl consented to the kiss, so there is no harassment involved. Third, THESE ARE KIDS! If they were "playing doctor" behind the bleachers, that would be something to get mad about, but this is an innocent kiss on the hand!

People are getting more and more dumb and over-reactive!:grumble:
