[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it's not sexual harassment.  It's not.

It is hitting and name-calling.  Moving your DD away from him seems like a smart move, not a punishment.  He is probably getting some sort of consequence, but you will not hear about it, because he is a student who has a right to privacy just as your DD does.  [/quote]

It IS sexual harassment. And it’s sexual assault.

Threaten to file charges. [/quote]

I agree that the boy should be the one moved, but think some of these responses are way over the top.

For example, it may be harassment and assault, but 9-year-olds know little about sex and are not raving hormonal lunatics just yet.  Moreover, 9-year-olds are seldom charged with any crime because they simply lack the mental capacity to understand the seriousness of their actions.  He is 9, and potentially ruining his life with expulsion or charges before seeing whether the issue can be resolved with the school seems like overkill.[/quote]
