CANTON — A 6-year-old boy who jumped from his bath and ran to his window to stop a school bus was suspended from school for sexual harassment.
The boy’s mother said that the city schools’ Early Childhood Education Center Principal Julie Behner on Cherry Avenue NE suspended the boy for three days and forced him to sign a paper admitting that he knew the nature of the charges against him.
“He doesn’t understand all that,” the boy’s mom said. “All he knows is that he missed a school field trip.”
Local attorney Steve LoDico said Wednesday that he had filed an appeal with the school board and asked that the matter be heard in executive session at the board’s next meeting.
Superintendent Fred Blosser said Wednesday that he did not know about the boy’s case and that, even if he did, he could not comment because to do so would violate the child’s privacy.
Behner did not return calls from The Repository seeking comment.
LoDico said he took the case for free.
“I took no funds from this family, but this case just bothers me,” he said. “A very innocent thing happened. Now we have a 6-year-old boy being suspended from school who didn’t even understand why. All he knew was that this was his first school field trip ever, and he wasn’t going to get to go. That broke the little boy’s heart.”
The mother said her son, who is being treated with Ritalin for Attention Deficit Disorder, loves school, and he was disappointed that he wasn’t going to get to go to school that morning because of a doctor’s appointment.
“I put him in the tub so he wouldn’t see the bus” when it arrived to pick up her daughter, she said. But her daughter announced the bus’ arrival and then ran to meet it.
He heard her.
The little boy, who was nude, got out of the tub and ran to the window to yell for the bus not to leave, the mother said.
Paperwork presented to her from Behner on April 19 states that the child stood naked “in front of the window and exposed himself to the children on the bus, put his hands in the air and danced around.”
The boy was suspended from April 20 through May 3, which included the Easter break.
The class field trip was to have been to Amish country April 20, his mother said.
LoDico said parents of the child’s fellow students along the bus route have said that the school “blew the incident way out of proportion.”
The boy’s mother has since removed both children from the school. They’ve been admitted into another city school.
Still, she said, she is appealing the charge against her child because she and her son were humiliated by the accusation.

Oh poor little tike just wanted to go on the field trip! I can't believe they made such a big deal out of this. Kids will be kids and they have no shame what so ever. I don't know of any kids that age that care if they are naked or who sees them. So what if he came to the window he probably thought it was funny just as any other normal kid that age would. I'm sure the mom grabbed a towel as soon as she was able. He has no idea what sexual harrasment is how can someone be charged with that when they don't even know what sex is? I think the school is at fault here, if anything they could have just talked to the parents, no need to be suspended 
.
They are both hyperactive, they like to just keep going and going and going , its called ENERGY!!! I see no reason for either one of them to take any type of drug they are basically good kids just a little hyper, like 99% of kids that age. Coinneach hit the nail on the head " easier for SOME* parents than exercising a
