Crime Boston 7-Year-Old Accused Of Possible Sexual Harassment For Kicking Bully In Groin

BOSTON (CBS) – A 7-year-old boy is being investigated by his South Boston elementary school for possible sexual harassment after kicking another boy in the crotch.

The first grader’s mother, Tasha Lynch, says she was shocked by the school’s decision.

“He’s 7 years old. He doesn’t know anything about sexual harassment,” she said.

Lynch’s son, Mark Curran, said the boy that he kicked had been bullying him on the school bus ride home from Tynan Elementary last week.

“He just all of a sudden came up to him, choked him. He wanted to take his gloves, and my son said, ‘I couldn’t breathe, so I kicked him in the testicles,’” said his mother.

I don't want to live on this planet anymore =/
Not when defending oneself results in a sexual harrassment case.

lol, most ridiculous bull-crap ever. She should be sueing the school not the other way around!

this is clearly a case of self-defense - and if you are being strangled you don't have that many options anyways.. I think the kid did the best thing possible given the situation

:nuts:

Yeah! Well, this is the best self defense method that there is against such attack.

This. He wont get charged. Whoever is trying to is a dumbass :|

What image of a country does this gives. God sake. A bad one.

Again, a fail of capitalism I suppose.

The choker's father is probably a lawyer and decided to sue the bullied.

"All of a sudden" is very common in the imagination of a 7-year-old. And where's all this "sue" business coming from -- I was thinking the same but I can't find it anywhere in the text.

If a 7-year-old boy -effectively unprovoked- kicked a schoolmate in the balls; would it not be reasonable of the school to suspend the brat as an attempt to correct the behavior? He's not getting charged.

Shouldn't this be more of a "assault" instead of "sexual harassment"?

There should be no charges. Who the hell teaches "the act of bullying" at schools? Nobody should be learning how to bully others in the first place.

You guys are doing it wrong.

I can bring a suit against any of you for any reason in the world... It doesn't mean that it's true. I can say that tom_mai smashed my car window in but it doesn't make it viable. If this was a story of how the suit went through and the 7 year old was convicted... everything is different.

WOW!!! Suppose I should be convicted of sexual harassment as well. Such BS !!

I see..

I don't think it's right to accuse a kid for sexual harassment, I bet he don't even know what the word means.
