It Befuddles Me
Posted: December 21st, 2006 | Author: Catherine | Filed under: Uncategorized |To be forthright, I don’t understand this trend. Associated Press carried this article:
“HAGERSTOWN, Md. - A Maryland kindergarten student has been accused of sexual harassment and written up. The 5-year-old boy pinched a girl’s buttocks.”

In an article on the main FlyingHamster site, I had noted an incident where a four year old was suspended “for inappropriate touching”. Is this some sort of movement directed at four and five year olds, to quell future criminal activity? Let’s identify those sex offenders when they are pre-schoolers, label them and track them. And for any baby that kicks in the womb, that smacks of a propensity for assault. Kid, we will be watching you carefully…

Either these people are out to abuse the system to gain a buck or they seriously believe that while children imitate what they are exposed to, children must learn the painful, extreme discipline of the adult world at an early age. O.o
What a system we have where adult rapists and sexual harrassers are slapped on the wrists; whereas children have very little idea of the concept of sex, much less, if any at all.
Where a simple slap on the wrist should suffice for a child doing a no,no instead these parents seek justice fit for the crime of an adult that knows better.
