5-year-old autistic boy embraces classmate and accused of harassment in USA

The parents of an 5-year-old autistic boy told how their son was being punished for hugging his classmate. They were informed that he, playing with his peers, "crossed the line of what is permitted."

Nathan is an 5 summer student at East Ridge Elementary. The headmaster said school staff spoke to him more than once.

Summery Putnam, the guardian of Nathan, recalls that her son’s teacher called from elementary school about three weeks ago: “He called me and said: you need to talk with Nathan about the limits of what is permitted.”

Putnam claims that Nathan has autism, which, she says, can make it harder to understand social cues. “If you don’t understand how autism works, it will seem to you that the boy is behaving badly,” Putnam said. “But the thing is different.”

According to the guardian, the school said that Nathan crossed the border. The teacher accused the boy of sexual harassment after he hugged one child and kissed another on the cheek.

Deby Emik, Nathan's grandmother, posted a post on Facebook:

“What will you do when a five-year-old is called a sexual monster and accused of sexual harassment? We were informed that in his personal file it would mean that he was a sexual offender. This child is autistic, he understands and functions in a completely different way from a regular 5-year-old baby. Who to ask for help when the school does not even listen to a pediatrician who explains the child’s difficulties in understanding simple things, such as boundaries. If someone can give advice or help, please do so. Be so kind, do not hesitate to comment or write to me. "

Emik says: “You can't handle him like that. The child does not even understand what sex is. ”

Tim Hensley, spokeswoman for the Hamilton County Department of Education, issued the following statement:

“School staff are required to report child issues to the Department of Children's Affairs. It is up to the Department to determine whether measures are being taken in connection with these reports and in what form. ”

The family thinks the school is wrong.

“He doesn't understand what he's doing wrong,” Putnam said.

Her son has now changed class and teachers.

NewsChannel 9 asked the school system if the teacher had submitted an application to the Department of Child Services. The representative stated that the source of these complaints was confidential. The media also contacted the Department to clarify this issue, but did not receive a response.
