This raises some interesting questions. Obviously, there could be more facts here like this is a repeated pattern of behavior that the school cannot speak to. So I’m trying to keep an open mind.

But … the kid is 10. It’s entirely possible he a) accidentally touched her breast during the hug or b) [b]has absolutely no understanding of the gravity of doing so[/b]. I’m not saying the counselor should give up her right to bodily autonomy, but it seems like this is a risk of working around kids and perhaps getting the criminal justice system involved is overkill. The racial differences also aren’t good optics.

Let’s say the kid truly is pervy, I don’t think this behavior should be enabled, but maybe a stern lesson could be taught without cops involved?

What says DCUM about this?[/quote]

I have a 10 yr old and I think this is a really absurd thing to say. 10 year olds are more than able to get not touching breasts. We aren’t talking about toddlers here. My kid’s class is writing novels and designing hypothetical museums out of dioramas. They are well past understanding not to violate bodily autonomy.

I don’t think the kid should be put on trial but your theory on this point is just out to lunch. [/quote]
