[quote=Anonymous]“Over the past month or so my daughter (2nd grade) has been coming home and telling me stories about things the boys say in class. The most recent story is the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Apparently, it is a regular occurrence that they make sexual moaning noises in class. DD doesn’t know why it’s inappropriate, but she feels like it is and that she should tell me when they do it.

I’ve had her tell me multiple times about boys calling the girls “strippers.”

Today, she informed me that they were talking about how “Lucy chokes on too many…” and then used a slang word I didn’t recognize. When I asked what she thought that meant she pointed to her private parts.

There is one name in particular that keeps coming up when she tells me these stories, but she is hesitant to name names because she doesn’t want her classmates to view her as a [b]taddle tail.[/b]

This seems like more of a principal or social work issue, but are those the right people to contact? Or should I start with the teacher? I don't want to have to keep having these conversations with my 8 year old.[/quote]”-

As a former Social Worker, these are absolutely red flags. Whoever this child is that is making sexual noises and then calling the girls strippers and especially that he says she is choking on a private part- most likely they have been exposed to at least pornography, or worse, to adults doing sexual acts in front of them, or even worse than that. I encountered these situations as a social worker several times. The teachers and administration should know these red flags and refer the parents to Child Services. If nothing is going on, they will investigate it. The teachers and administration are “mandated reporters” by law- they are required to report anything like this to Social Services or the police.
