Today, I was working at the school when one of the kids came crying to me about needing help with his zipper after a little "accident". Forbidden by a district ordinance to touch them in certain areas, there was nothing I could do; to which he cried and pissed his pants. Again. FML

Then tell them to go to the Nurse, who obviously can touch students anywhere the nurse sees fit,

"Hello, Mrs Doe! This is the principal at John's school. We had to cut his pants again since he couldn't unzip them himself..." "/.../" "No, you are well aware of that we are allowed to touch the children's hips, but not the behind or front." "/.../" "Yes, we used scissors." "/.../" "No, we didn't hurt him with the scissors as we accidentally did the last time." "/.../" "If you say so, Mrs. Doe, we can let him spend the day in his peed pants, but I want that in writing from you and your husband." I really think that the fear of pedophiles has taken monstrouous proportions. Why not tdress the kids up in Burqa to protect them from peeping?

Makes me happy I grew up in a time before every ******* soccer mom on the planet decided to oppress the system to protect their 'darling little angels' from harm.

My son's school had me sign a form that allowed them to help him in the bathroom if he needed it. People are getting ridiculous.

It's crap like this that made me decide not to teach. Teaching, handling children and parents? Fine. Dealing with stupid rules, laws, guidelines, etc? Not so much. The rules try their hardest to make sure teachers are backed in to corners with their hands tied. And that still doesn't protect any one. If this kid decided to take revenge by telling his parents that the teacher touched him anyway, her career would be practically over, and she didn't even do anything! Makes me sick...

I think any job where an adult is around kids has that problem. 8(

I've heard of teachers aides getting fired because a kid hugged them. NOT because they hugged the kid, but because they didn't step away when the child tried to hug them, in a school with a no-tolerance-touching policy. The child, a kindergartner, also got in trouble.

I love how everyone is mad at Americans over this. To think: Americans would be so presumptuous to ban touching little kids. Meanwhile, nobody else anywhere else in the globe has ever touched a child...

I think you've missed the point that America has banned HELPING A KID GO TO THE TOILET, not TOUCHING a kid in "that" way. Most every country in the world has banned "touching" kids. Get it right.

You made the right decision. In my community, a teachers aid faced the same dilema. Unfortunately he helped the child. The child went home and told his parents how he was helped. They then took it upon themselves to sue. They lost, but only after destroying the accused reputation and finances.

This is why if you screw someone over you should be forced to recoup their losses however much money you costed them you have to pay it back. That would make people think twice. There needs to be legislation against frivolous lawsuits
