Relax Gladys. They are in 1st grade, and he is autistic.

OP. I'm sorry this is happening to your child. Absolutely demand a safety plan from the school. It's their job to keep your child safe while in their care. [/quote]

Shame on you for telling someone to relax in this situation. His disability does not trump her (or any other child’s) ability to learn in a safe environment. Non-disabled students have rights too.[/quote]

She is safe, that word is constantly misused.   She is in a distressing situation and nobody seems to help her. The boy needs an aide.  He can’t control himself and if they insist on putting him in a regular class they need to provide an aide.  [/quote]

No that is ridiculous to say he can't control it. If there were a consequence like being made to go to recess at a different time or sent to a different area for recess like a kindergarten yard with other children he isn't kissing, he would actually learn you can't hold down other people and make sexual advances. Guarantee he isn't kissing anyone older, bigger, stronger, or anyone who is able to slug him back.

This is actually a public health risk to have a student force his mouth onto someone else's mouth. Kissing can transmit infections spread through saliva, respiratory droplets, or skin-to-skin contact,The student could be transmitting: Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1, causes cold sores), Epstein-Barr virus (Mononucleosis), Cytomegalovirus (CMV); hand foot mouth disease, RSV, etc.

If a student with or without special needs gives my kid a push, a kick, a pinch, I obviously would not be thrilled, but it can be part of early elementary school and learning to get along. I just let those things go. However, I would be up in arms if another kid was physically holding my child and kissing them. [/quote]
