Bellmead, TX - Damarcus Blackwell's four-year-old son was lining-up to get on the bus after school last month, when he was accused of rubbing his face in the chest of a female employee.
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."
Blackwell says it's ridiculous that the aide would misread a hug from a four-year-old.
Blackwell wrote to administrators demanding that the whole incident be expunged from his son?s academic file because his son is too young to know what it means to act sexually.
David Davis, the executive director of the Advocacy Center in Waco tends to agree with Blackwell. He says assuming the boy has not had sexual encounters, or been inappropriately exposed to pornography, most four-year-olds are sexually innocent.
Blackwell got a response from the La Vega administration. The sexual references on the discipline referral were removed. But the thing that makes Blackwell most upset is they told him "your request for an apology by the aide and removal of all paperwork regarding this incident is denied." Now the young student's file will refer to the incident as "inappropriate physical contact."
And Blackwell says he will continue to fight the district.

What this is is lazy and cowardly administration. It is easier to just pass a one size fits all rule than actually exercise judgment and common sense. this is what happens when lawyers and rules take over society.
I’d say she is a future sex offender..Record her name..
Dude, you think this sh__ happens to other people until it happens to you at your workplace or at a public bus. Only one question is asked: Are you male? Yes? You lose, loser!
If I were Blackwell I’d be looking for another school, if possible.The sweet kid was FOUR, not FOURTEEN! The young boy barely knows he has the correct body parts.
What a bunch of crazies school administrator’s have become.
What have we come to ...
Welcome to America.
I agree. It is getting more ridiculous all the time.

Nice lesson for young kids: touching people in any way is wrong.
No recipe for screwed-up and disconnected children here./sarc

Take it to court.This is a chance to make the school department and all the employees involved look like fools *and* get a tidy little award from a jury.
Child is 4 yrs old for goodness sake. Teacher is one sick puppy for even reporting this problem. Good Heaven’s what have people become- ——
Liberal nutcases. I definately see a pattern going on here.
Don’t you?
At my kid's school they would have shot him.
Nanny Statism
Hold it, I just figured this out, a 4 yr old kid rubs his face on the the breast of his teacher? How tall is this kid?
Four years old, huh?
Tell him to call me.
This is ridiculous. This aide should be fired immediately.
The irony of this is that the kid will probably have to register on the local Megan’s Law web site.
**Four-year-old suspended for hugging teacher’s aid**
