"A Lancaster County, South Carolina teacher has filed a sexual harassment complaint against one of her 10-year-old students after the child hugged her multiple times.
In the complaint, the teacher says the child in October had laid “his head on her chest while he hugged her.” In another instance, also in October, the teacher says he “pressed his body into hers and wrapped his arms around her.” The teacher claims that’s when she told him “hugging from behind is very inappropriate and not to do it again.”
The 10-year-old student has been placed on a "no-hug policy," the mother said. The child is accused of intimately hugging the teacher multiple times. “He’s a very loving child. I feel like school should be a safe place and him not feeling that way anymore has him in a whirl of emotions right now,” Casey said.
As of now, evidence is being reviewed and the district said it could take between 40 and 120 days before an official decision is made.
