(Reposting this in the correct place this time. x_x)

I think the determining factor in how this should be handled is really how the little girl in question felt about it all. The boy's mother claims she was consenting; is this true? If so, an innocent kiss between six-year-olds isn't anything the school needs to concern itself over, as long as it's not interfering with the classroom or the lesson. It's not like they're groping each other in the lavatory. However, if the girl wasn't consenting, then that's a harassment problem (though I'm not sure "sexual harassment" is the right label, given the ages and levels of awareness of what "sex" is, on the kids' parts) and the school was right to take some disciplinary action, and probably to separate the children by transferring the boy to a different class. But without knowing one way or the other, I can't say which is the case here. The complaint didn't come from the girl or her parents; other children in the class told on the boy.

Little kids have "boyfriends" and "girlfriends," and that's normal - it doesn't mean the same thing to them as when kids who have entered puberty use those words.

This is why I wish they'd interviewed the little girl. But the school heavily implied that she did not consent, and the boy's mom seems to be a bit delusional so I don't want to take her at her word. It seems very likely that she did not.

Also, yes it's normal for kids to have "boyfriends and girlfriends" but if the boy is using those terms and the girl doesn't want to use them, then he needs to be corrected because that sets a pretty nasty stage for his view of relationships with women (i.e. that he gets to define the nature of such a relationship without her say) and his mom needs to stop talking like they really are bf/gf.
