He had, still has, impulse control issues. But he's just a goofball who likes to get a rise from ppl and make ppl laugh. Not malicious.
Education and reinforcement is the best way to handle these situations all around. And not jumping to conclusions that 8-year-olds have any sexual intent! (2/2)

@WanderingHuman@cosocial.ca yep! I was really happy with how the kids handled this. More interesting to me, the staff person’s response at first was “I will make him apologize to you!” And the kids were like, naw, forced appologies aren’t meaningful. Just talk to him about how touching people or taking their photo without their consent is a problem and why. The kids are better informed than the adults!
