School officials say a six year old boy and girl snuck away from teachers, then took their pants down and laid on top of each other.
It happened at Hawkins Mills elementary in Frayser on Tuesday.
Kimberly Banks is the mother of the little girl. She says the six year old boy lured her daughter into a stairwell at school.
Banks is angry about the incident. She says teachers and other staff members should have noticed the two children were gone.
Her 6 year-old daughter Kimmesha Stevenson told us about the incident. Stevenson said, “He told me to pull my pants down. And I said no. And he told me to do it.”
Banks says school officials called her after the incident happened. She says, “They told me my little girl was in the stairwell with her clothes down.”
Banks says the boy asked her daughter to follow him into the stairwell as the pair were headed from their classroom to Hawkins Mill Elementary’s aftercare program.
Banks says, “What bother me the most is that my six year old was with a little boy about to do something that she don't know anything about.”
A Memphis schools spokesperson says Kimmesha Stevenson and the boy were only missing about 15 minutes.
She was not able to give Eyewitness News an explanation about how the six year olds were able to sneak away when nine staff members were supposed to be watching them.
Stevenson doesn't seem traumatized by what happened at school. However, her mom is dreading sending her back to school tomorrow.
Banks says, “The kids are supposed to be safe at school, but how can we be assured that our kids are safe, if this right here is happening.”
A Memphis City Schools spokesperson says Tennessee’s Department of Childrens Services is investigating what happened in the stairwell.
As right of now, neither student is facing any punishment.
The boy who was in the stairwell is in Kimmesha Stevenson's kindergarten class. A Memphis City Schools spokesperson says the boy will be removed from the class.
The spokesperson says both the boy and Kimmesha Stevenson will be closely monitored by the Hawkins Mill Elementary’s staff.
Another triumph of liberalism.
I wonder what the school would have done had it been two girls or two boys?
Six year old boys can do exactly what to a six year old girl?
The boy needs some counseling and perhaps a little questioning as to what he's seeing at home and on the tube. He was mimicking something he's seen.
She's sending the kid back? What's wrong with her?
I bet we'd a never heard about this in the MSM, then.
If your kid has seen any kind of nudity on TV or the Movies, they are going to want to check things out themselves. It's normal behavior in a society that has exposed kids to too much too soon.
