Sexy children?

In an infant class there is a boy who (with a severe learning difficulty) is regularly exposing himself, stimulating sex with soft toys and today was openly masturbating both over his clothes and coming from the toilet. I really dont feel I can allow this child remain in my class. I feel I have a duty of care to the other children. Please any advice would be welcome.


May I also ask that this post is not made public on other sites please.

A new low has just been achieved in AH.

That's not abuse, he's not doing anything to anyone else.

Many infants express sexual curiosity like that but are socialised out of it. Obviously that's more difficult for this kid.

I understand you don't want him doing that in class, and it would be ideal if you could get him out of the habit instead of having to resort to removing him from the class.

Also, you've made this post public just by posting it, so you've no control over what happens to it, except by editing or deleting it.

I don't know what's more worrying, that someone would result to trolling like this for attention, or that someone who is responsible for teaching the next generation is stupid enough to post about on a public forum, least of all this one.

I also posted in the education section but I thought after hours was where there might be some people who might have a genuine suggestion. I'm up the walls here over this. I have a major situation here that needs action, this involves the protection of small children.

Actually, you have a duty of care to this child. The other children are too young to be offended/hurt/traumatised by his behaviour, they will probably just think it a bit strange. Your school has a policy on this. Work through it.


TBH your claim that 'you have a duty of care to the other children' rings very hollow indeed. It sounds like you (understandably, but not condonably) just want to make this problem go away.

For a boy who (with a severe learning difficulty) he sure knows a lot about where babies come from.

Deleting your post isn't so effective when it's already been quoted .

I would be geniunely concerned for this child but i would suggest u need to contact social services rather than post here.

you're around the site long enough and would have seen the type of threads that appear in AH to know full well that AH is not the place for posting this sort of nonsense.

as a primary school teacher you would also know well that there are proper procedures in place to discuss this sort of behaviour. i really don't know what you hope to achieve here, but its fairly poor form on your part that with a third level education, and being a parent yourself, that you would ever post such a thing on a public internet forum that is widely renowned for its scathing humour.

if you'd even read the AH charter on the way in before you started your thread, you would know this.

Even that will not work. Its been quoted a few times already.

yikes you are a teacher and youre posting that here:rolleyes:

Local-womanizer

Oh dear lord.....

Obviously a troll, or just someone who actually has no clue.

For anything in a school environment there is procedure. Nowhere in that procedure does it mention anything about posting on Boards > Rec > AH

If you are actually a teacher I would worry for the kids in your class. Coming to AH for advice on this is like dragging the local town drunk into the classroom and asking him to sort it :rolleyes:

Mickey Dazzler

wow. Odd very odd.

Now.. their posting here doesn't necessarily make them a bad teacher. They're clueless, yes, but that doesn't equate to being a bad teacher.

Extremely clueless - regardless of the fact you posted this in AH, do you really think it was wise to post in a public way?

The op should count herself lucky that PS pay rates are not linked to competency levels, otherwise she would be taking home about 3 fiddy a week.

The OP is no teacher or even an assistant one.
ALL teachers are taught a minimum of things to do, how to behave, react and the law in this area of "Legal duty of care" towards those around them.

Very strange, person must just have no idea of After Hours?

Indeed maybe - but then they are educated enough to know where to post and recognise the proper forum/section.

Good christ!
Were they listening at all to what they were taught during their training?
I hold a J.E.B. (Joint Examining Board teacher) qualification and its standard practise to cover areas like this!
Good god!

(SNA = 'Special needs assistant' in that thread.)

The King of Moo

Worries about a masturbating infant with special needs.

I'm not sure if this thread proves or disproves the idea that After Hours has got too serious.

Eire.

What kind of a sick person is posting a question like this? This should be deleted and not entertained at all, and the mods give out about stupid crap yet this post is allowed to continue. Sick

Was it like this OP??????? :pac:

OP, if your still reading this - and your genuine, you need to contact the head of the school immediately.
Sooner or later if you don't and the situation continues, questions will be asked as to why this was not mentioned earlier when, elsewhere its discovered what they are doing.
Kids talk - all kids and it might come back to haunt you over actions not taken.
At the VERY least you have a legal duty of care not just to that child but to the others too.

Eire.

Also have to question why most replies were "surely he know the standards here for teachers" ffs the guy must be off a right freak to even post something like this, come on people. Surely people are not that thick.

I wouldn't call them thick or a freak. It's just bizarre. I see their post count is not that high, maybe they didn't really have a concept of what After Hours is? I.e a banter joking in the pub forum, the worst forum suitable to that kind of question ever! Bizarre!

Grossly unprofessional. What are you thinking OP?

Lets pretend this thread never happened.
