[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, I think the advice to punch or kick another 9 yr old is misplaced anger. She should move away from him immediately and tell an adult, not get into a physical altercation.  She isn’t fighting for her life and he is a child too[/quote]

She is being molested by a 9 year old boy who is old enough to know this is a private area.  She is fully justified to let him know with her fist or her knee or both that she is not going to be his target.[/quote]

I would hardly call that “molesting” that requires a physical attack in retaliation.

He is poking her in the chest.  She can remove herself and tell a teacher.  That accomplishes the goal of him stopping and him getting consequences. Mom can follow up with administration.  Turning this into a physical fight isn’t the answer. [/quote]

Your special snowflake boy can keep his  hands to himself or bear the consequences of someone else not keeping their hands to themselves.

If it wouldn’t be ok for an adult to do it to another adult, it’s not ok for a kid to do it to another kid. That’s what I tell my DD and that’s the explanation I used  that finally got school to start holding boys accountable for their physical harassment of girls.

What would all these apologist boy moms do if a man started poking them in line at Starbucks?! I’m guessing they wouldn’t quietly step out of line and tell a manager. [/quote]

They are kids.  You can’t compare to adults doing this. “Holding him accountable” doesn’t mean punching, kicking him, etc. Are you animals? [/quote]
