A Boston elementary school first grader is under investigation for sexual assault for punching another another male child in the groin area. The mother of the child who is being investigated said that her son was acting out of self defense as the other boy choked him and stolen his gloves. School officials are considering this sexual assault because the punch was to the groin area.
This is absurd. Even if it wasn't self defense I don't think it's appropriate to investigate a six year old for sexual assault. I am not saying the child shouldn't be punished, but I think sexual assault is a too drastic for this situation. A simple punishment for fighting and teaching them the proper way to handle similar situations is sufficient.
The mother said if her child is going to be investigated for sexual assault, then other child should be investigated for attempted murder since he was choking him. If the school is going to be that drastic with punishments then perhaps they should charge the other boy with attempted murder, it's only fair.
6 year olds fight that dirty? insane.
