A five-year-old boy with autism was reportedly put on a record as a sex offender after hugging his classmate.

Nursery school pupil Nathan was reported for hugging the child and his parents warned he would be placed on a record "for the rest of his life", his family claim.

Nathan, who attends East Ridge Elementary in Chattanooga, Tennessee, U.S.A., was allegedly accused by teachers of overstepping a boundary.

Summery Putnam, Nathan's guardian, told News Channel 9 , that she received a call from his teacher at the start of September.

She said the teacher told her he had been accused of “sexual activities” for hugging a child and kissing another child on the cheek.

Ms Putnam said her son had no idea he had crossed any kind of boundary, adding: "He doesn’t know what he’s doing wrong."

She said her son has now switched classrooms and teachers and is enrolled in special education services.

In a Facebook post shared with the news outlet, Nathan’s grandmother, Debi Amick, questioned why the school wouldn't listen to the family or their doctor about the challenges the youngster was facing.

She wrote: “It was disclosed that it will go in his record for the rest of his life that he is a sex offender.

“This child is autistic, he comprehends and functions very different than your typical five-year-old. What do you do?

“Who do you turn to for help when the school will not even listen to the child’s doctor when he explains the child’s difficulties in his comprehension of simple things such as boundaries?"

Spokesman for the Hamilton County Department of Education Tim Hensley said, in a statement, schools were entitled to report any concerns they had regarding a child.

He said: “School personnel are required to concerns regarding children to the Department of Child Services (DCS).

"It’s up to DCS to determine if those reports are acted on by DCS and what form those actions may take."

Consequence of #metoo taken too far. More tragic things can happen, pathological liar makes accusations of sexual abuse on twitter, guy gets fired, his reputation ruined, commits suicide, allegations turn out to be made up but makes no difference:

The kid probably doesn’t even know how to get more humans, how is it fair to put him on the sex offense registry? Does he even know babies don’t come from storks yet?

Personally, I believe if a person is physically incapable of reproduction due to young age (such as this five year old) it’s not reasonable to put them on the sex offense registry. I highly doubt this kid is risk to become a serial rapist.

This is what happens when Cultural Marxist ideology is allowed to permeate into the education system like cancer. The system is run by evil fascist control freaks.


Though I'm sure they would have no problem with drag queen story time.

It's a little misleading to say the kid in question has to register as a sex offender. He wasn't charged with a crime, so the severity of how this impacts his future is unclear. Plus the handicapped and mentally ill have always been our cultures favorite targets. So this is nothing new, and it's not #metoo going too far.

On a personal note, I think it's sad how people are so literal. Fortunately looking at people isn't a crime yet, but give it some time and it probably will be.

First off, good to see UT posting! Second, is this a late-night comedy sketch? Because it would be too outlandish to believe.... if it wasnt.
