A 6-year-old boy has been suspended from a Colorado school for kissing a girl on the cheek.
School officials in Canon City are accusing the boy of sexual harassment and they want it on his school record.
The boy's mother tells KRDO-TV (http://tinyurl.com/lyhxh7l ) her son was suspended once before for kissing the girl and had disciplinary problems, but the girl did not object to being kissed.

A six year old boy is suspended from school in Canon City for kissing a classmate on the cheek
His mother says it's a crush and the two children like each other. But the school is calling it something else; sexual harassment.
First grader, Hunter Yelton, told us he loves science and phys-ed. Also...that he has a crush on a girl at school, who likes him back.
It may sound innocent enough...but at six years old Hunter now has 'sexual harassment' on his school record.
"It was during class yeah. We were doing reading group and I leaned over and kissed her on the hand. That's what happened," said Hunter Yelton.
Six year old Hunter was at home on Monday instead of at school.
"They sent me to the office, fair and square. I did something wrong and I feel sorry," he said.
