Kissing by minors that could not have been contemplated as a serious issue in most countries has landed a four-year-old Egyptian boy in court.
The minor was dragged before a court of law in Egypt for kissing his three-year-old classmate, a behavior seen as inappropriate.
Reports by the BBC, says parents of the little girl who kissed felt unhappy by the incident and therefore charged the boy to court.
The little boy’s father is reported to have told privately-owned al-Mehwar TV that the girl’s father became bitter after he personally saw the boy kissing his daughter, but the circumstances surrounding how the case started and how it all became a court matter, remain unclear.
The accused was charged with assault, but the judge handling the case, apparently did not see any merit in the case, probably due to the ages of both youngsters involved and therefore struck out the case.
The judge, according to reports, even hugged the boy before dismissing the case.
