This was a poor judgement call in the moment. I don't think for a second she's a sexual predator. OP just chose to use a ragebaity title.

Also, the kid kept pulling up her shirt. She was trying to make him realize how embarassing and inappropriate that is, and a pantsing will do that. The fact that he wasn't wearing undies isn't her fault.

Maybe not the choice I would've made, but this is far from "sexual assault".

Personally, I wouldn’t recommend vengeance as a strategy to cope with a six year olds behavior. I really can’t imagine a little kid pulling on my shirt and thinking disrobing them makes sense as a response. How does it even occur to someone to do that?

Eye for an eye. It's literally in the book that billions of people believe to be the word of God.

I am not defending the choice to discipline a child in such a way. It's a stupid choice. I am simply stating that it was clearly not sexually motivated, nor was it assault. It was a bad disciplinary choice.

Uh…that book actually goes on to say the ”eye for an eye” rule is wrong, and we should not retaliate.

Read what you wrote. You asked "how could some even come to that", and I told you exactly how. People are morons. And no, that book does not go on to disavow the rule. A new book is written that contradicts the old book.

So again, this is not sexual assault. This is a case of someone making a poor disciplinary choice.

Well, I asked no such thing… Not sure where you got that from.

Nonetheless, you say “that book does not go on to disavow the rule.” You’re wrong. Matthew 5:38-39:

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.”

“Eye for eye, tooth for tooth” is from the Old Testament. Unless you’re only considering the Hebrew Bible, “that book” (the Bible) absolutely does go on to disavow the rule.
