Teen In Trouble For Hugging Teacher

OLATHE, Kan. -- Olathe, Kan., police are investigating after a 13-year-old student hugged his teacher.

It happened on Nov. 11 at Chisolm Trail Junior High at 16700 W. 159th St.

The hug made the teacher feel uncomfortable, so she told the school's resource officer, who filed a police report.

Police were classifying the incident as a sex crime, said Officer Johnny Roland, the Olathe Police Department's public information officer.

Police wouldn't discuss the incident because it involved a juvenile, and school officials declined to comment.

Olathe parents were split about whether the student should be in trouble.

"I'm all for hugging kids. Kids deserve and require a lot of affection, but in a school setting, that really might not be an appropriate thing," said Karen Brown, a mother of three.

Brown said the teen was old enough to understand that might make his teacher feel uncomfortable.

"He should know where the boundaries lie, especially as he's becoming an adolescent," Brown said.

Denise Ketelle is also an Olathe mother.

"I have kids that are used to hugging other adults. We encourage that in our family. It's very natural for that to carry over in the schools."

What punishment, if any, the teen may face may never be known to the public because juvenile criminal records are kept confidential.

Have these people lost their fucking minds!?!

OK, 13 year old male. Yes, hormones are active, he's beginning to get those urges, growing a little facial hair. Probably having his voice crack a little on him. Ok, so I can see where he is beginning to become a 'man' physically. But claiming this is even REMOTELY close to a sex offense is so far in left field. These are supposed to be caring, nurturing people?

What the fuck is wrong with this teacher? And that Karen Brown woman.. How if you have affection for someone, not sexual, I mean that type of affection that children should have for their teachers, is this a sexually offensive act? Go ahead fuck-wads, put this kid on the registry, ruin his entire life.

A good talking to, or even a parent/teacher conference might have been in order. They are reporting that he is gonna be in trouble with the law? How is this possible??????

Congratulations America. You have completely and utterly changed the nation. We are now a nation of people that no longer are allowed to have social interaction. You should be proud of yourselves, you've fucked up the country...

'Think about the children!!'.. pffft, it is all about making the population afraid. These people don't give a shit about 'the children'
