Over there (click a critter name for a wee QT of it with more info), I learned the giant squirrel is from The 3 Worlds of Gulliver [IMDB]. You can see Mrs. Gulliver trying to hide out behind the mushroom. Not nearly as bad as Night of the Lepus.
Bellmead, TX - Damarcus Blackwell's four-year-old son was lining-up to get on the bus after school last month, when he was accused of rubbing his face in the chest of a female employee.
The principal of La Vega Primary School sent a letter to the Blackwells that said the pre-kindergartener demonstrated "inappropriate physical behavior interpreted as sexual contact and/or sexual harassment."
[...]
... the thing that makes Blackwell most upset is they told him "your request for an apology by the aide and removal of all paperwork regarding this incident is denied." more
I can easily imagine that this actually was a sexual contact by the child. But it's the adults' reactions that get me, and remind me of something I just read earlier this morning:
Scenario - Billy breaks a window in his father's car and his Dad gives him a whipping.
1953 - Billy is more careful next time, grows up normal, goes to college, and becomes a successful businessman.
2006 - Billy's Dad is arrested for child abuse. Billy removed to foster care and joins a gang. Billy's sister is told by state psychologist that she remembers being abused herself and their Dad goes to prison. Billy's mom has affair with psychologist. more
Not that I agree with whippings or think kids aren't abused...
