Boy, 6, banned for kissing

A boy of six has been disciplined by his school in North Carolina for kissing a girl in his class on the cheek.

Jonathan Prevette's mother said he did it in affection but the boy was rebuked for sexual harassment and banned from schoool for a day. Jonathan kissed the unnamed girl after they had been tidying up their classroom together. He was reported for breaching the school's code against "unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favours and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature".

A spokesman said: "A six-year-old kissing another six-year-old is inappropriate behaviour ."
