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

[Pisces]

378. I have read up on the matter more and I do acknowledge that he was reprimanded more than once. What

I don't understand is the lack of communication between the parents. I have young children, confronting or discussing my
concerns with the other mother should have been done. That other mother would have known that under no circumstances were these kisses welcomed and that I was looking at her to correct this behavior. Only a parent talking to another
parent can give the right amount concern. The school may have sent home a notice, but not had a serious conversation.
Schools do not like to offend anyone.

I also think that we put adult labels on children and adult intentions onto children. This kid needs to be reprimanded and
talked to by his parents. As a society we expect our children to behave and rationalize like adults. They are barely learning the consequences of their actions at that age. Do we want to have robots?

When I was kid chasing boys and kissing them was game played a recess regularly. Many of those boys did not want
to be kissed. There is nothing new under the sun. That was over 30 yrs. ago.

The other thing I find abhorrent on this thread is telling parents that they support a rape culture simply because we
question adult words used against a 6 yr old. At times it feels like all common sense goes out the window.
