In reply to the discussion: School drops sexual harassment claim against 6-year-old [View all]KitSileya
(4,035 posts)26. He kissed her on the hand. This time.
Previously, it was ""Not once, but over and over...not with her permission but sneaking up on her...not without warning and consequences prior to suspension," she stated."
I am sure he has no sexual desires behind his behavior. Typically only abused children do that. But his mother is encouraging him, and she seems set on this idea that the girl is his "girlfriend" and the boy has a history of unwanted behavior, such as roughhousing. His continued kissing of the girl against her will, is, prima facie, sexual harassment - not sexualized harassment, but harassment because of her sex/gender.
