[Bullying Thread] Kicking First Grade Bully In The Nuts = Sexual Harassment

A 7-year-old boy at South Boston's Tynan Elementary School is under investigation for sexual harassment after he struck a boy in the groin, The Boston Globe reports.

The boy's mother, Tasha Lynch, says her son, Mark Curran, was only defending himself after the other boy allegedly choked Curran on a school bus Nov. 22.

"I think my kid was right to fight back," Lynch told The Globe. "He wasn’t doing anything except protecting himself."

Lynch describes the alleged incident further to Boston's WBZ.

"He just all of a sudden came up to him, choked him," Lynch said of the November 22 incident. "He wanted to take his gloves, and my son said, 'I couldn't breathe, so I kicked him in the testicles."

Lynch told the station she received a call from the school informing her that her son's actions would be treated as sexual harassment.

"Your son kicked a little boy in the testicles. We call that sexual harassment," Lynch said the school told her, according to WBZ.

So, this response by the school can appropriately be called 'retarded', right? I mean, it's the only word that sums up what I'm feeling adequately enough.

    You can't really appropriately describe anything as 'retarded' because that's an inappropriate descriptor and kind of offensive to a fair number of people.

    I think 'sexual harassment' is probably the wrong term unless the kid winked at the bully while he was doing the kicking.

    I say good for the kid

    Bullies are the shit of humanity, kicking them in the nuts when they are choking you is the least they deserve

    Also, and I'm sure everyone will agree, kicking a kid in the balls when they attack you is not sexual harassment. It's self defence

    Hmm... Well I guess it could be seen as a harassment of his sexual prowess.

    Except I doubt that bully was getting much action around the playground.

    Amy once kicked a dude in the balls hard enough that he had to go to hospital, and miss school for a week. He was trying to push her off a second story balcony.

    Fuck all, I expect, because bullied kids are basically ignored by adults, and even in the rare cases where they do pay attention there is nothing they can do. Bullies are basically given free reign and all they have to do is not bully where they can be seen by adults and you can't prove shit.

    The school probably doesn't see a kid choking another kid, they see a potential lawsuit.

    I'm telling my daughter that the appropriate response to a guy getting out of line is a straight shot to the junk. I'll have her practice and everything. I want my daughter's first reflex to be to destroy an unknown boy's penis.

    i once prevented a 'bully' from taking me out from behind in the locker room by successfully donkey kicking him in the junk and then choke slamming him into the lockers

    it was 8th grade, which he failed, and proceeded to fail a couple of grades of high school

    "your son kicked a small boy in the balls"

    a small boy

    like the 7 year old isn't also a small boy?

    I wish that someway, somehow, that I could save every one of us

    You will have taught your daughter a lesson that will guide her right for the rest of her life.

    what a perverse world we live in.

    on another similarly related topic, have any of you folks been kicked/punched/injured in the groin before? i played a significant amount of sports, and i am clumsy, and i also stick my foot in my mouth quite often, so i've been racked a few times. the worst thing is the pain comes about 2 seconds after the realization, at least for me. "oh god, here it comes", and then the fetal position. it really sucks to realize that the next 15 minutes are going to be awful even before it happens.

    My best guess is that the bully has some kind of CBT fetish.

    you're = you are
    your = belonging to you

    their = belonging to them
    there = not here

    Yeah, several times by several people/things. Fists, feet, face, baseball, baseball bat, backpack full of books, river (I was on a rope swing and landed very, very wrong), etc. I've never been a big fan of the sensation, especially when it feels like it's up inside your stomach. That's the worst part for me.

    i'm sure the bully's mom just reported the incident first so it looked like an unprovoked kick in the balls

    still, you shouldn't throw around sexual harassment accusations when you're still investigating

    shoddy police work, public school, turn in your badge

    man, I used to get racked all the damn time in like, later elementary? early jr high? I forget, it was a private school that was basically everyone altogether in one building. anyway, this girl a couple grades later would always carry me to the nurse

    come to think of it, it was often her fault that it happened.

    wonder what happened to her

    As a manly guy who outweighs most people who have ever tried punching my monkey ass, my first response has always been a kick to the junk.

    It's like, I know I could lay this guy on his ass with a manly punch.

    But his nuts are right there.

    Oh brilliant

    I typically have a ten second grace period so I tend to just pummel a friend who does it into an equal level of discomfort before succumbing to the pain.

    The worst thing about the grace period is when it's a grazing hit, or one you think might have missed, because it really doesn't feel that bad thank god I dodged a bullet therOH GOD THE PAIN.
