Florida boy, 9, threatened with sexual harassment charges for writing love note

next on the war on men and boys...


A 9-year-old Florida boy could face sexual harassment charges for penning love notes to a girl in his class, his furious mother said.

The tiny admirer gushed about his crush, telling her she's "pretty and cute" while boldly revealing his feelings for her in the handwritten loose-leaf letter, ABC Action News reported.

"I like you," the Tampa fourth grader in the Hillsborough County Public Schools district wrote inside a heart drawing. "I like your hair because it is not sloppy. I like your eyes because they sparkle like diamonds."

The romantic proclamations landed the little boy in the principal's office, where school officials threatened they'd get authorities to slap him with sexual harassment charges, according to ABC.

Absolutely outrageous! If that is bad take a look at this: http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/11/11/us-usa-sexoffender-idUSKCN0T01BJ20151111

It staggers my mind that a 12 year-old would have been put on a sex offender registry.

Love letters are dehumanizing. Don't act like you didn't know that.

He was totally objectifying her. She's a strong independent woman, not just a pair of eyes that sparkle like cliches and a head of not-sloppy hair.

The sex offender registry is mind-boggling to begin with. For one, the list of offenses to get on it is too broad and varied. For another, it alienates a group of people leading to social truncation which I'm sure doesn't help their mental health. Finally, if a person really is dangerous to others, especially children, they should be behind bars, not in your neighbourhood.

Surprised they didn't send the SWAT team to lock down the school. Sigh

Imagine what will happen when they discover he isn't a real Doctor. He just plays one on the teeter totter. :eyebrows:

What is the statute of limitations?
In I think the 5th grade I used to snap one of the girls bra straps.
She was the first one so equipped and I just couldn't stop myself.
I hate to think of myself pounding rocks in the Gulag the rest of my life for a transgretion so long ago.:ballchain:

When I was in Grade 7 and 8 no girl's bra strap was safe! Simpler times
