"Mother of girl involved in 'kissing' discipline speaks out"

[tblue37]

322. His mother WAS TOLD MORE THAN ONCE, and the boy WAS

told more than once, and the boy was punished more mildly at first, BUT HE CONTINUED HARASSING THE GIRL.

The boy's mother still insists that the girl (who WAS VERY MUCH UPSET BY HIS CONSTANT HARASSMENT) is his "girlfriend" (apparently THE LITTLE GIRL ha s no say in the matter at all) and that she "likes" it when he sneaks up on her and kisses her all the time. (Again, she doesn't get to decide whether or not she likes it. The boy's mother and the boy get to decide that for her.)

NO "permanent record" is involved. No "authorities" were involved. The notation of his behavior was in his private record for THAT SCHOOL DISTRICT ONLY, which would never be seen by anyone else anywhere else at any time.

The point of the notation was to distinguish his harassment of the girl from the sort of physical bullying he did to other kids. Also, if a pattern of similar harassment continues in his behavior, it is important for future teachers and administrators IN THAT SCHOOL to be aware that it is a pattern, not just a one off mistake. When such patterns are not noticed, they cannot be properly addressed.

The details of this situation are pertinent, and they are NOT what your posts say they are.

Again: THE BBOY'S MOTHER WAS SPOKEN TO MORE THAN ONCE, AND SO WAS THE BOY. The harassment of the little girl continued despite several attempts by the school to address it in less severe ways.

BTW, I have to use caps on my little Nook because using other forms of emphasis on this device is very difficult.
