So, you have two, seven-year old boys fighting on the school grounds and one kicks the other and gets him in a most uncomfortable place. As the teacher, wouldn't you drag the two culprits into the office, call their parents, get the two boys to explain themselves, apologize, propose some punishment . . . and that would be that? Seems the logical way to go. Boys will fight and, sometimes, the kicks and blows might get out of hand.
Well, this event happened and was related on a news report my husband read. The teacher, instead of calling the parents, called the police who arrested the one boy and filed charges of sexual assault which, if the charges hold, will label this little boy as a sex offender the rest of his life. Something is very wrong here. You have to wonder about a teacher who would read this into a playground fight. Yes, the kick shouldn't have happened but how can the teacher decide the child was sexually attacking the other boy? It was a misplaced kick in the heat of the argument.
It is a sad world that would call the police, first, on a childish fight and leave the parents to get the call from the police department that their seven year old is being held on such charges. If anyone in this situation has 'issues', I'd put my money on someone else. We certainly live in a world that likes to sexualize everything.
I'm glad I was able to homeschool my children and hope future parents and children will enjoy the same opportunities. The world, however, sees stay-at-home mothers as 'different' and if they stay home and teach their childre, they are just, plain weird and need some government help . . . Which I'm sure is going to come down on us one of these days.
