A 10-year-old boy at Holly Hill School in Volusia County, Florida, US, might face a battery charge after his teacher accused him of touching her breast.
According to a police report, the school employee claimed that the boy “disrespectfully cupped her left breast” and that she had to “forcibly remove his hand.”
According to NBC, the boy could face a misdemeanor charge of battery for the misbehavior that occurred on October 24 when she visited the fourth-grade classroom to discuss something but the boy reached out for a hug.
However, the suspension letter from attorneys that put the boy on a 10-day suspension was delivered to the boy’s family, including his grandmother and legal guardian.
“My grandson said with the hug, she did grab his hand and hold his hand up, and he didn’t really know why she did it. He said she let his hand go and he walked back to his seat and then he began to talk to other students,” the grandmother said
