[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A 10 year old should be given counseling or detention or a suspension, but not be injected into the criminal justice system based on what has been reported.

When given a chance to state what happened, the 10 year old simply yelled at his teacher and did not deny the validity of the allegation so the more reasonable assumption is that the incident happened as reported. Nevertheless, still no need for police / court / criminal justice involvement.[/quote]

The police report says the teacher called him up to ask him what happened and he started to yell. He could have been embarrassed (if it were an accident) and yelled when put on the spot by the teacher because he didn’t know how to handle/articulate things as a kid.

Or it could be the counselor’s version was accurate.

Or somewhere in the middle.

I’m not sure anything is a reasonable assumption at this point. I hope the school attempted to interview some witnesses to corroborate this before calling the police at least.[/quote]

This is my thinking. If it was purposeful the other boys would have seen and or he would have said something when he went back to his seat. I certainly hope witnesses were asked BEFORE criminal charges were filed. Does he have a history of inappropriate touch is another question. If not, it is certainly possible that it was accidental and the call to police is a horrible response.[/quote]
