Can you bekieve my 8 year old son has been accused of sexual harrassment?

Question

He smacked a girl on the butt with a flip flop, and the school called the police. This harassment bit has gone too far now. Don't you think? An 8 year old who has never been in trouble before.

For those of you who have answered in an ignorant manner, You can kiss my you know what, you are obviously not parents so don't answer what you know nothing about.

Answer 1

yeah it's kind of like calling the police because they have tylenol and charging them with drug possession. or like when my son was a teenager, he wore a necklace that looked like a dagger (plastic/painted silver) and one the the cops at school arrested him and took him to juvenile. they arrested him for possession of a weapon on school property, which is a felony. the courts did a deferred ajudication, for six months. it was all totally ridiculous, the principal had even seen it on him earlier that day and commented on it (nothing negative). when our attorney met with the district attorney, they said they would do a deferred ajudication on it if we let them keep the necklace. give me a break. if my son really wanted to hurt someone at school a pencil would have been a better weapon then this necklace, it was cheap plastic. the bad thing, which we did not know at the time, is because they did a deferred, it will alway be on his police record as a felony weapons charge. now if he gets stopped for even a tail light being out, guess what, he and his car are searched and I believe that this prior bogus charge can be the police's "Probable Cause" to search him and his vehicle. What a bunch of bullshit!
Oh, I heard about a elementary school girl who had a steak knife in her lunch box, (her mother put in) so she could cut her leftover steak at lunch time. She also was charged with a felony weapons charge. don't know what the outcome ever was.

Answer 2

The police??? When I was in school someone would have either gotten a warning not to hit, had to write 20 times "I will not hit girls on the bottom with flip flops," or if the hitting was a chronic problem the child would have been taken out into the hall and paddled. I have an 8 year old son too, and I can't imagine someone calling the police over something so stupid. Did the police laugh? I would have. And then they should have arrested whoever called them for making a false complaint.
Another reason I homeschool............

Answer 3

wow first of all he's very young and doesnt understand the thing that he has done wrong is considered that. he probably doesnt even know what sexual harassment is!. I cant believe that the school called the police on an 8 year old boy who hardly knows right from worng yet!. I think it was wrong of them to take matters into their own hands first rather than having a meeting with you and his tacher abotu what he did. whether he's been in trouble or not before it was wrong for the school to call the police before contacting you and dealing with what to do.

i would switch schools for him if I were you!!

Answer 4

That has definitely gone too far! I would pull my child out of that school so fast it would create a vacuum in the hallway. Then I would see a lawyer about filing a child abuse suit against the teacher that called the police under the definition: Child abuse and neglect is, at a minimum: Any recent act or failure to act on the part of a parent or caretaker which results in death, serious physical or EMOTIONAL HARM, sexual abuse or exploitation.

that's so ridiculous. i think you can prevent this by good measure in the future by telling your troubled child that if he punched her in the mouth he would get the death penalty. the really sad thing is regardless of the outcome it will still be on his record
