Harrisburg School District and county authorities are investigating allegations that a 5-year-old kindergarten girl performed oral sex on a male classmate in school last week.

City spokesman Randy King said the incident took place Nov. 15 in a classroom at Melrose Elementary School.

It wasn't clear yesterday where the teacher was at the time. She left a memo for the principal detailing the incident before she went on leave earlier this week and has yet to be interviewed. King said the teacher has a terminally ill relative and is out of town.

District officials learned of the incident after a classmate told her mother last weekend. The mother notified school district officials Monday, and they immediately launched an investigation.

Harrisburg police have turned the matter over to county social service agencies because of the age of the children.

There will be no criminal charges, King said, because of the children's age and because the act was not forced.

"However, Children and Youth Services will be investigating the matter," King said. "Children of this age who engage in such conduct don't necessarily get this from television."

The boy's mother contacted the news media yesterday, saying the school district was being unresponsive to her inquiries about the incident.

The mother, whose name is being withheld by The Patriot-News to protect the identity of the child, said that when the girl who performed the act was questioned, she admitted she had done it.

The mother said she wasn't immediately notified, and after she was, district officials told her the matter had been turned over to Dauphin County Children and Youth, told her to get her son counseling and refused to discuss it further.

She said she is concerned for her son as well as the girl, because she feels a child exhibiting such behavior may be being abused.

"This isn't kids fighting or cutting up in school," the mother said. "This is a serious matter."

District solicitor Nate Waters said that while the incident has been turned over to social service agencies, it is still not clear exactly what happened.

"Nobody that I have talked to has assured me that these things have happened," Waters said. "We don't want to keep on moving on with hearsay from 5-year-olds. We're currently attempting to contact the teacher and get some answers."

Waters said he doesn't doubt the incident took place.

"We're trying not to sensationalize 5-year-olds having sex," Waters said. "We don't want to alarm people who have 5-year-olds in classes all over the city.

"This has never happened before to my knowledge and very likely is never going to happen again," he said. PETE SHELLEM: 255-8156 or pshellem@patriot-news.com

Why should he be shot? It says classmate! Meaning the boy that recieved the oral sex was only 5 years old as well. So we should shoot a 5 year old boy for that?

Yikes, you guys are tough

I agree that it is disturbing that 2 five year olds would be engaging in oral sex as it begs the question where did they learn it from? But i wouldn't be so hasty as to grab your gun and start shooting like a lamer without all the facts.

These are kids people.

This thread has serious flaimbait potential so i'm putting a monitor on it.

Merged with similar thread in real world issues.

Pretty mad. No ones fault really although the teacher should have been there :o

I dont see why the girl should be shot :s or the boy. Some people say some damn stupid things sometimes.

I dont think this is sick at all. Kids experiment when they are young. They probably didn't really know what they were doing. However if they did know then this is v.sad and just shows how they might have been influenced by something they had seen or heard :/

They didn't know what they were doing so no harm done. They just need to be corrected that's all. Children have the minds of animals until they are educated and molded to fit a particular society's morality. Kids in Africa mess around like this in tribes all the time.

Indeed.... I did a lot of stuff when i was in my kindergarten years. I'm very sure we all experimented when we were young. but the questions is. WHAT INFLUENCED THEM TO HAVE ORAL SEX? there is almost no way that they thought of it out of the blue, I can think of many scenarios, but the odds are just too great. There is a definate chance that they were exposed to something they shouldn't have been to.

For all of you lot that don't actually have kids, I wouldn't go so far as to say that oral sex is normal child behaviour but kids will do this.

As to how they went about finding out about oral sex, when I was about 4, me and my m8 Jude (who was also 4) actually came across his dad's porno mags hidden in the back of his estate wagon and after that used to sit around french kissing each other constantly.

The way they found out about it probably isn't as sinister as most people think, after all this is the age of digtal cable.

I just love what that mother said... So fighting is better than a 5 year old giving another 5 year old a ######? Sure it's sickening, but fighting is worse, especially among 5 year olds, especially if they are "cutting up". Guess we know what that girl wants to be when she grows up :unsure:
