1st graders tried to have sex at school??!!??

IPS police and Marion County child protection workers are investigating an incident involving two first-graders who officials said were caught trying to have sex Wednesday at an Eastside school.



District officials worried that the incident may have signaled that at least one of the 6-year-olds had been abused before. A child psychologist acknowledged that possibility but said the behavior simply could have been an attempt to copy something seen on a video or cable TV.



"One of them may be a victim," said Indianapolis Public Schools Superintendent Duncan Pat Pritchett. "We're waiting for the conclusion of the two investigations. At that age, that's learned behavior."



The names of the two children have not been made public. But the girl and boy, who were released to their parents, received five-day suspensions and could be booted from classes at School 69 for the rest of the year.



"It's extremely troubling because of their young ages. I have never in my life experienced anything like this," said School 69 Principal Gary W. Davis, a 22-year educator.



The incident unfolded after the boy and girl left the school cafeteria about 9 a.m. after breakfast, according to IPS officials. The two left with another group of students and were under the supervision of a teacher, headed to their first-floor classroom. The boy and girl somehow slipped off unnoticed and ducked underneath a stairwell.



There, they were interrupted when older students walking up the stairs heard noises and investigated.



The two had removed some clothing but weren't engaged in sexual intercourse, district officials said. School police and Marion County Child Protection Services were immediately contacted.

First graders? I wonder if at that age, do they even realize what they were doing was wrong. I must admit though, I did find the name of the school amusing. :-2
