HAGERSTOWN, Md. A father in Maryland says his 5-year-old son
knows nothing about sex, but the boy was written up for sexually
harassing a kindergarten classmate.
Washington County school officials told Charles Vallance that
his son pinched a girl's buttocks earlier this month in a hallway
at Lincolnshire Elementary School. The school says that meets
the state's definition of sexual harassment. Vallance says his
son was only playing around and had no sexual intent.
School officials say the incident will remain in the boys file
until he goes to middle school.
Citing state data, the (Hagerstown) Herald-Mail reports that
28 kindergarten students in Maryland were suspended for sex offenses
in the last school year - 15 of those suspensions for sexual harassment.
