COLERAIN TOWNSHIP, Ohio -- A 6-year-old boy was facing expulsion for touching a classmate's rear end, and his mother said she thinks the school district is going too far, WLWT-TV in Cincinnati reported.

Yolanda Kirk said she's not disputing Northwest Local School District's right to discipline students.

"Don't get me wrong -- it's not right for any child to physically touch another child," she said. "I don't condone it."

A letter from the school district claims that her son, Blake, engaged in sexual acts, displayed excessive affection, engaged in inappropriate touching and used obscene gestures. But Kirk said her son's potential expulsion is excessive.
