Four-year-old suspended for hugging teacher's aid

Bellmead, TX - Damarcus Blackwell?s four-year-old son was lining-up to get on the bus after school last month, when he was accused of rubbing his face in the chest of a female employee.

The principal of La Vega Primary School sent a letter to the Blackwells that said the pre-kindergartener demonstrated ?inappropriate physical behavior interpreted as sexual contact and/or sexual harassment.?

Blackwell says it?s ridiculous that the aide would misread a hug from a four-year-old.

Blackwell wrote to administrators demanding that the whole incident be expunged from his son?s academic file because his son is too young to know what it means to act sexually.

David Davis, the executive director of the Advocacy Center in Waco tends to agree with Blackwell. He says assuming the boy has not had sexual encounters, or been inappropriately exposed to pornography, most four-year-olds are sexually innocent.

Blackwell got a response from the La Vega administration. The sexual references on the discipline referral were removed. But the thing that makes Blackwell most upset is they told him ?your request for an apology by the aide and removal of all paperwork regarding this incident is denied.? Now the young student?s file will refer to the incident as ?inappropriate physical contact.?

And Blackwell says he will continue to fight the district.
