Family, School District Feud After Sex Act Between Kindergarten Students By Stephen Dean HOUSTON -- A 5-year-old kindergarten student was suspended for three days and Child Protective Services is investigating how he learned sexual behavior after a teacher interrupted one boy performing a sex act on another. Both children attend kindergarten at Dunn Elementary, located at 2003 W. W. Thorne Drive in the Aldine Independent School District, near Bush Intercontinental Airport. The teacher thought that both 5-year-olds were taking too long in the bathroom when she interrupted the act. The victim's father told Local 2 News, "Physically, I got sick. I felt sick to my stomach. I couldn't eat. I was a little bit numb, and it was more surreal than anything else." "As horrible as it sounds, it would have been a lot easier for me to accept an older child doing that to my child, than a child the same age as my son," he said. In a report filed with Child Protective Services, the father said the principal at Dunn Elementary agreed with his request to have the aggressor moved to a different school. "But then what happened, we got a call later on that day and said that there was a little problem," the father said. He said Aldine claimed that the law prevents them from moving the young offender. The district confirmed that it did offer to move the victim to a different school, but the father told Local 2, "I'm the victim, and the other one is the perpetrator, and why should I have to rearrange my life to accommodate this other individual?" State law dictates that any child younger than the age of 6 years old cannot be moved into an alternative discipline school. But the family said they never even asked the district for that. They just wanted the other child moved to any other regular school so that their son would not have to keep reliving the event. Aldine ISD responded that they followed the law, and they moved the aggressor to a different classroom and lunch to avoid future contact between the boys. Teachers are also closely watching the child. District leaders said they thought the family was OK with the action they took. The father, however, said state laws are not equipped to handle such an event. "It seemed as though the perpetrator was protected under the law, and not the victim," he said. http://www.click2houston.com/investigates/14220569/detail.html That one father had some weird statements.
Heard the same story from a teacher friend. She works as PREK teacher at Wesley. She caught a female student undressing and kissing the body of a boy. She reported it to their teacher but she refused to inform the principal and their parents.
Yeah that father is strange. I mean, calling the kid a "perpetrator" is a little much. They are both young kids. I am sure he was just shocked.
Victim? Perpetrator? Geez, the story makes it sound like the kid got raped. It probably went something like this: Jimmy: Hey Billy, if I do this, it makes my wee-wee stand up! Billy: Cool! My mom won't let me do that to my wee-wee. She says it's bad. Jimmy: Oh...did she say somebody else couldn't do it to your wee-wee? Billy: No....she didn't! Could you make MY wee-wee stand up? Jimmy: Sure!!
Man. I hope the "perps" parents aren't a gay couple. This will be a huge debate if it ends up that way.
The dad's statement is stupid. He could accept a 14 year old boy blowing his son but he can't accept a 5 year old boy who is imitating his two gay dads. Edit - I noticed the father said older child, like that makes a difference. I think a 14 year old would know what he's doing.
why does cps need to get involved but what if this kid saw someone he knows having sex and tried to imitate it. what does that prove.
Doesnt every kid do this kind of stuff? If I ran for office and some reporter tracked down all the kids from my old neighborhood...and Elementary School..and Junior High and High School and they all told their sex stories on me I would be on Most Wanted. (and I grew up in a little Bible Belt town before the internet or rated movies) But I'm just a happily married hetrosexual with the dullest most common life imaginable.
There's a difference IMO between if the parents were having sex on the couch while the boy was watching cartoons vs. the boy walked in on his parents in their bedroom. The former is child abuse the latter is an accident.
You're kidding, right? I know I never saw my parents have sex. Plus you have to conclude that a 5 yr. old had to see it enough times to imitate it. Hell, when I was a kid (probably until about 11) I thought the only use was for urination.
fatty I'm going to give you some advise, just because you never experienced something doesn't mean it never happened.
I think you are fighting a losing argument on that one. Again, the kid probably saw it on more than one occasion to want to imitate the act.
how many times would the kid have to see it? neither of us are experts on child pyschology so I wouldn't declare my argument lost just yet.
Another thing...this is what CPS does. They investigate possible child abuse. They're doing their job. I see no big deal. If the kid kept walking in on his parents, maybe this will teach them a lesson...will this go in the kid's file? I'm LMAO thinking about the high school counselor writing a rec and she pulls his file and finds suspended 3 days for inappropriate contact.
Wow... you never played doctor with a little neighbor girl before you were 11?? I think I was like 8. At any rate... it would be easy for a kid to see that if the parents aren't careful. And I don't mean that the kid necessarily saw his parents, but if he's got cable in his bedroom (because most kids do nowadays) and his parents aren't intelligent enough to block the channels, he could wake up in the middle of the night and turn the tv on. Boom, there ya go, he's exposed. (bad pun) Lord knows my little brother would have stuck on the channel to see what they were doing at that age.
another thing is everyone makes the assumption that the kid saw guy on guy sex. the kid could have seen his mother and father. i guess I can understand why cps would investigate, i just happen to find them a very aggressive organization. my wife's friend was investigated by cps just for a few bruises on her son's leg. she did spank him but as far as i'm concerned that's not illegal. the couple are good parents, keep their kids well maintained and their kids seem to be happy. but one bruise and cps is investigating things like what these people keep in their refrigerator.
