That's another thing that really stuck out to me. You shouldn't talk about sex with a six-year-old? Really? That's damn well old enough to me. That's about how old I was when my mom decided I was old enough to get the real answer to "where do babies come from?".

He definitely needs to get that talk. This isn't sexual harassment, but it doesn't bode well if he's allowed to believe it's perfectly ok, either.

The thing is, it's not like a real sexual harassment accusation. It's more like a behavioral note on his file for that particular school. It seems the school could have used less inflammatory labels but I kind of agree with them. Or at least understand the why.

Though it would be interesting to get the other side of the story. Right now it's news sites trying to get hits and a mother raising hell but fairly little actual information.

And I agree, 6 is definitely old enough.

Yeah, and the article really made it all about the label of "sexual harassment" which yes I disagree with but...yeah. I really want to hear the other side.

(There are two reasons I disagree with the behavioral label they chose. One, it's simply inaccurate - what he did was harassment but not sexual. He's six. Two, using that label to describe this devalues its use when it is in fact warranted.)

(forgot to add, but this has all been the same ayrt)

Both excellent reasons and I actually agree. Well said.

I was going to add in an edit (whoops):

I want to add though that while it's not sexual harassment, it's setting a stage where he could grow up to believe sexual harassment is okay. According to this other article, he's calling her his girlfriend and his mom is BACKING HIM UP. First, no they're not bf/gf, THEY'RE SIX! And more importantly, it's teaching him (assuming she did not consent to the kiss and/or the "relationship", as the article strongly implied) that it's ok for him to decide how to define a woman's relationship with him and it's ok for him to push himself on girls who have already said no, and that COULD lead to future sexual harassment, as well as general douchebaggery. His mom should be giving him a firm talk about personal space and what relationships actually mean, not defending his inappropriate behavior.

Sorry for being so wordy. :x

Thanks!

Yes to all of this and actually what I was trying to say in my first reply but I don't think I said it right or left that out or something. But yes! Sometimes wordy is best. :)

Yeah, the fact that she's gobsmacked at a six-year-old asking about sex, but thinks it's okay for him to have a "girlfriend" gives a pretty clear idea of where her son's iffy behavior is coming from. I feel bad for the kid, since he's old enough to know better than to sneak-kiss people, but isn't going to learn that at home.

... yeahhh. I was four or so when my mom first addressed it. I mean, granted, she was pregnant with my little sister at the time so questions were just a given, but she's a nurse so explained the whole thing. (While trying not to laugh because 4yr old me couldn't figure out where the vagina was and kept going back between things going in and out of the anus or urethra...)

So the idea that it's "not appropriate" to talk about sex to a six year old is just... WTF. Of course you don't go into massive detail but freaking out over the WORD? o.O
