My y6 son had his genitals grabbed today

My 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?

Tell the school. She should be spoken to.

nimbuscloud · 25/05/2021 19:03

That’s a sexual assault.
Speak to the school tomorrow.

HumunaHey · 25/05/2021 19:04

That's not just playground games. That needs to be addressed.

Are you sure the girl didn't do it out of anger for some reason? Not that it would make it ok.

Moonshine11 · 25/05/2021 19:05

Tell the school.

Hope he’s ok!

Sexual assault IMO, I’d speak to the school.

Should know boundaries in year6. My lg came home the other day said they all had to sit around and learn the nspcc pants song because someone had done it in her class yr1.

This is sexual assault, tell the school and don't let them minimise this. I'm sorry that happened to him Flowers

ConfusedAdultFemale · 25/05/2021 19:08

Hmm playground games? Speak to the school.

CoronaBanana · 25/05/2021 19:14

Was it in the playground then? What was happening prior to this incident, what were they all doing?
Your OP is very short with not much detail.

DolphinFC · 25/05/2021 19:17

Thank yoy for your replies. They have given me perspective.

They were in the playground at lunchtime and I think someone dared her to do it.

In that case, yes speak to the teacher tomorrow. The girl (and the kids daring her) obviously need telling this is unacceptable behaviour.

nimbuscloud · 25/05/2021 19:20

If a boy grabbed your daughter by her genitals what would you think?

JustGotToKeepOnKeepingOn · 25/05/2021 19:33

Totally unacceptable and school will think so too. Repeat the incident tomorrow.

JustGotToKeepOnKeepingOn · 25/05/2021 19:33

Report!!

IdblowJonSnow · 25/05/2021 19:41

Tell the school. If a lad did that to my DD I'd be fucking raging. Not really any different the other way round.
Hope your DS is ok.
School should really be all over this in this day and age. If they don't take it seriously I'd escalate to governors. Hopefully they will.

KaleSlayer · 25/05/2021 19:48

Are the school aware? You need to speak to them as this is completely unacceptable.

I hope your son is ok.

Curioushorse · 25/05/2021 19:54

They'll have had classes on 'consent' and inappropriate touching by Year 6. So she was acting deliberately. Yeah, tell the school.

MaMaD1990 · 25/05/2021 19:59

What have I just read?! That's appalling, your poor son. Definitely speak to the school and kick up a stink about this. If the roles were reversed there would be hell to pay.

picturesandpickles · 25/05/2021 20:03

This is really not OK and must be reported direct to the headteacher in writing. It absolutely needs to not happen again. It is a safeguarding issue regarding the girl's nehaviour irrespective of the fact it is an awful thing to happen to your son. You need to show him this is absolutely not OK and not to be ignored.

MrsLJ2014 · 25/05/2021 20:59

Definitely make sure the class teacher and headteacher know.
I am a year 1 teacher and would immediately send any of my 5 or 6 year olds straight to the headteacher if they did this. Even at that age they know it is wrong.
