As a former teacher in the US, any PDA by anyone is not appropriate and consequences could follow. And that simply PDA, not kissing on the lips. Since the child was not comfortable, and the kisser did not check with the child, it’s my experience that it may be grooming of a predator. I would report it right away and have the administration deal with it. If anything ever happens with this person again, they should be
Predators are dangerous and they are pathological liars and manipulators . They are careful in choosing their victims, and they choose people who are vulnerable and innocent. They take advantage of their innocence and they destroy it. If you are concerned at all about your friend, it might be wise to recommend speaking to a therapist for a few visits, just to be safe. It would be a safe way for your friend to work through what has happened to them. It would also allow someone who is trained to help them to be prepared to protect themselves in the future. There are signs to look for, and since this has already happened once, maybe it would be best for them to know what to look out for in the future and how to handle it in the future. Professional child therapists are trained to help in this way. I will be praying for your friend’s safety and for wisdom to handle this properly in order to work through what has happened and to know what to look out for to be safe in the future.Thank you for your response. They also told me that this person is very kind to them and they "don't want to cause them problems"- that's what they said :/
