BOY BARRED FROM BUS AFTER ALLEGED SEXUAL BULLYING

A nine-year-old Quebec boy has been barred from taking a school bus after an alleged sexual bullying incident this week involving two kindergarten students. The boy coerced a fiveyear-old girl and a six-year-old boy into touching tongues on the bus Monday before eventually demanding they remove their pants and, in turn, lick each other’s genitals. The father of the young girl told the Montreal Gazette the nine-year-old boy has a history of physically and verbally bullying his daughter and other children at the school. In a statement, the Sir Wilfrid

Laurier School Board declined to go into details of what happened, but said it has been addressing an incident and has met with all three children and their respective families. The board says measures have been put in place at the school and the older boy will no longer be on the same bus as the alleged victims. It says the child will be transported separately and under supervision. The principal of the unnamed school also called social services. The school board also expects to meet with the school bus company to review the matter.
