"Her reaction doesn't seem unreasonable for any mother who has just been informed by a bunch of dimwits that her CHILD is a child molester. I don't know how she left the school without punching somebody."
They said no such thing!
it was a touching issue. Adults are supposed to have cool heads - not act even more immature than their children. I repeat, this mother has issues.
Here's the last paragraph:
"When he comes home, he says, 'Mommy, are police going to arrest me?' I can't even make a phone call without him (asking) who I am speaking to. He is very frustrated because he is a very emotional kid. It bothers me so much to see my son go through this," Dorinvil said.
Who knows what the school officials said to the kid? Did they use the term "sexual harrassment" with him? Were they overreacting with him?
Of course, the mom might try handling it differently. I have young sons, too, and I think I would've handled it this way: Determined what it was my son did. If it was inappropriate, explain to him why. Then explain that adults can be idiots - and, yes, Mommy is allowed to use the term "idiots" when it applies correctly to adults - and that I'm going to remove him from that awful school. Luckily, we homeschool our own, so this is not a situation I have to worry about.
They suspended a 6 year old for 'sexual harrassment'. That kind of insanity can evoke a pretty emotional response. But I wouldn't have been crying, I'd have been yelling.
