Did he show her his "magic wand"?
ReplyDeleteHolton issued a statement via email to the Holton community describing what happened, which was inappropriate touching (the child was fully clothed). Good for them to be transparent about the situation. Hopefully everyone can move on. Stuff happens and the creep is gone.
