[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 143754, member: 1697"] I remember when my kids were very little, and school told me if a child falls down (preschool and kindergatren) and skins both knees, the school personnel would not help child up (that requires touching them) nor would that child get a little hug or pat on the back, becuz that also requires touch. I remember at that time saying, well thats COLD and hard. Zoom ahead to HS and my oldest difficult child. Her anxiety makes he shrink away from touch now...and when there were lice in her HIGH SCHOOL, the teachers and school nurse and dean called school police to force her to sumbit to a physical head check. Becuz for her whole school life they had been drilling it into the kids head that touching is "bad" she really flipped out and they threatened to arrest her. I was LIVID. She kept chanting and screaming "don't touch me, please don't touch me" We teach the kids not to talk to strangers yet we also (some of us) get a little confused and maybe embarrassed when we are out in public, say, in checkout at grocery? and the cashier is being polite and says hello to our child and our child shrinks away and tries to hide. NO i am not meaning we should become more demonstrative exaclty- but..it is all so overboard. Well, it seems that way to me. I understand there have to be rules especially at school and that there will always be people who push rules..... I am wondering, too...what are we gonna do when almost everyone has been labeled a sex offender? where will they work, where will they live? and labeling of some of these incidents as sex offenses is diluting the term sex offender. Seems common sense has gone out the window sometimes. It all makes me sad. I hope noone misunderstood me and thinks I am not aware there are people and even children who do have very real and very serious issues - pedophiles etc.I know (sadly I know first hand) I know there are problems out there. but going overboard is not going to help in a positive way.
