[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school maintains that they are mischaracterizing the student’s actions and that they disclosed private records. I think there is t enough information for us to really know. [b]Sexual assault involves intent [/b]and I can’t see that it’s clear what happened here. I mean if a very low functioning 7 year old reaches out indiscriminately they could hit the butt and breast area depending on whether the adult is sitting or standing or bending over - particularly if they lack the ability to tell where their body is in space and have motor issues.

I think it’s hard to be a special Ed teacher. But I just can’t tell here with the information that’s been made public. Also there is no excuse for revealing private data on a student. [/quote]

Does violence require intent? Whether a kid is groping or punching a teacher, it is unacceptable, even if the child has developmental challenges. You protect the child, but you also protect the wellbeing of the adults. If the child cannot help himself from hurting others (and groping women is hurting them), s/he must be in physical constraints or another environment where they do not violate others.

This happened repeatedly. It's not an accidental "indiscriminate" motor issue touch. Shame on you for excusing this kind of violation. [/quote]

Groping people is hurting them.  It would be okay to grab a male teacher’s junk either.[/quote]
