My Y6 son had his genitals grabbed in school today

[DolphinFC]

My y6 son is very quiet and sensitive.

He was mortified and humiliated today when a girl in his class grabbed his genitals in front of other boys.

Should I be very angry or should I put it down to playground games?

Report it to the school, our school takes things like this very seriously.

No I would be fuming and speaking to the teacher first thing tomorrow about it.

Report to the school

Report it.

This happened in my y6 class. The child concerned was suspended for a couple of days. It’s sexual assault.

Report.

Report it tomorrow! This is not on.

Ask the school to look into it. However it happened it is unacceptable and they need to clamp down

Don't go in all guns blazing but ask for context (eg was it a game that got out of hand or more malicious) and then ask what they are going to do to prevent it happening again.

I’d be reporting that to school the moment they open tomorrow and I’d want a proper response. Totally inappropriate behaviour that needs investigating properly.

Report it. I’d be mortified if that happened in my classroom/playground as I wasn’t able to deal with it. There will be serious repercussions for the girl involved.

Be angry. Y6 is old enough to understand that this is wrong.

I'd report it to the school, not least because the girl who did it could be being sexually abused herself.

You should inform the school head, naming the girl, to make sure this is stopped.

You report in by email tonight and in person tomorrow.

Poor little sod has been sexually assaulted and at eleven they understand how awful that is.

Report this to school. Not acceptable for either a boy or girl.

Have a big chat and a cuddle tonight too. Have a refresher conversation about bodies and consent and emphasise how you understand how upset and uncomfortable he must feel and that what she did was extremely unacceptable.

Report it to the school's safeguarding lead. It needs to be taken seriously. Y6 is old enough to know what private means. It's also an age where the child responsible may have had poor supervision in the past year and been exposed to inappropriate materials/ company.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply.

I just needed to be reassured about how serious this is.

Would you be asking this question if you had a daughter and a boy had touched them inappropriately ? No, you would report it to the school straight away! Report! This is not okay.

No it's completely fine OP I don't mind being sexually harassed do you? I'm joking of course it is not okay

That's not ok. Support your son, he shouldn't have to experience that.

Report it.

I'd talk to DS - make sure he's ok and understands how wrong she was to do that. Explain that she needs to be told it's not acceptable. Then I'd ask him if he wants me to report it. He's the one that'll have to talk to safe guarding lead etc and deal with being called a tell-tale etc. If he says he doesn't want you to, I'd probably still talk to the head, just so they know, but tell them DS doesn't want to report it & you do not want him involved in anything they choose to do.

Report it. It is sexual assault. The school are obligated to also report the incident to social services because it could be an indication that this girl is being abused. Kids act out what they see after all. Sometimes it's kids being stupid I know because my son drew on a boys bum aged 5 his autistic and just thought it funny but social services quite rightly checked in because it could be so much more.
