the mom TAUGHT the boy to sexually harass whether you want to use the term or not. you have this "cute" boy the hero. a mom that did not draw a line for her son the "good" mom. and you totally ignore a girl on the playground that was aggressed upon and not allowed her freedom over a period of time, creating a cutsey story.

that mom and son can "giggle" about the story and accomplishments and the mom standing up for him over thanksgiving for years to come.

how about the girl... what do you think she will carry with her, for years to come?

truly amazing.

he was not charged with anything, your second post up. words matter.

the school did not give him sexual harassment. the mom did.

it is not something that sticks with him for life or follows him, no matter the paranoia people want to create.

and nothing about sexual offender or sexual offender list.

you all are outraged over the wording that went into the report. yet all kind of wording is being thrown into this story, for sure
