What have we come to when a small child is no longer allowed to hug his teacher without being branded a sex offender??

Blackwells that said the pre-kindergartener demonstrated "inappropriate physical behavior interpreted as sexual contact and/or sexual harassment." Anyone who would interpret a hug from a 4-year old as "sexual contact and/or sexual harassment" has some serious psychological problems.

While my kid’s are grown and on their own now (mostly,LOL) this was never a problem when they were young. Both of them hugged their teachers at that age. What is wrong with people?

It seems odd to me that she would say something. I admit that I would be uncomfortable if a young child put his head in my chest, but I certainly wouldn’t charge the child with sexual harrasment. He’s a little kid giving me a hug that doesn’t know any better. I suppose there is always a possibility that he has been exposed to sex at a young age; perhaps he heard his father, a relative, or friends make comments about breasts or saw something on tv. We live in such a sexualized culture that it wouldn’t surprise me. His father sounds like a good man based on this article, and more than likely this hug was completely innocent.

"The principal of La Vega Primary School sent a letter to the Blackwells that said the pre-kindergartener demonstrated "inappropriate physical behavior interpreted as sexual contact and/or sexual harassment.""Morons! The kid was just wiping his nose.

I envision the day when the act of shaking hands will be deemed inappropriate.

How effing stupid could this public employeee be, interpreting a hug from a four year old as a sexual advance? Oh, it was a male child; had it been a little girl it would have been OK with the lezzbo....

Some of these administrators and teachers need to be tarred, feathered and run out of town on a rail! Disgusting!!! This is what teachers unions have delivered to us, thugs with missions!

Apparently people in the education field have a very hard time understanding what sex is and isn’t. They also seem to be rather confused about who ought to be considered responsible for their actions adults or children.

I thought when a young student acted like this it was the duty of the school to show the boy how to put a condom on. /s

This is past the point of being ridiculous. This type of crap is one reason I favor Home Schooling. Or if that won’t work for parents, a good private school.

This article is from December 8, 2006. Is there any information on how this was settled? A lot can happen in almost ten months.

I would be looking very seriously at the teacher, who misconstrues a four your old's hug as a sexual advancement. Its painfully obvious she has psychological issues that should be addressed. Want to bet we hear more about her issues in the near future?

When my son was 4, he walked up behind his female soccer coach and gave her a double-barrelled buttcheek smack with the hands. She jumped 10 feet in the air and said, "Hey! We don't do that." It never was an issue after that.
He thought, then, that all girls were gross. But he liked the soccer coach because she did "boy things" like sports. He was trying to roughhouse with her like he does with me.

I belonged to a homeschool co-op where it was not uncommon for mothers to sit and nurse their babies - and toddlers - in “class” and around the other kids. At first, I was uncomfortable because I was always a more private person. But my sons never even seemed to notice what was going on.
With all these stories about toddlers accused of inappropriate contact with teachers, I’m surprised stormtroopers didn’t kick in the church door and arrest us all... lol.
