Last Fri. son went to school (he's eight in third grade), a slightly older girl put her hands down his pants and grabbed his "privates". He was very upset and came home and told me about it. I took him right back to the school to get some sort of understanding about what happened. I think I was in shock. Anyway, I told a teacher that was there. She happened to be best friends with the girls Mom. The girls Mom called Protetive Services and said that my eight year old is a sexual preditor.
I almost lost custody of my little guy because of the aligations made that he was a sexual preditor and that as we have two little girls in the house. They confined my son to an office until he signed a confession, because he was freightened of the woman keeping him there.
Now he has this on his school record. The Dective in the Sheriff's dept wanted me not to prosecute the school personnel, however, there is this hugh blot on his record that could hurt him later. He is an honor roll student, she is not.
My husband and I would like to have son polygraphed about this incident in order that it would clear his school record as well as create a situation where children would not be treated in this manner. Little girl was allowed to have her mother there while being questioned, and son was not, and I was not informed.
Can an eight year old be polygraphed? Is there a way to prove that he did not touch her? What if anything legal do I need to know or do?
Please help.....
Thanks in advance...

PS.. Husband is active duty ... in the Coast Guard and gone more then not. He just made Senior Chief, and can't believe what is going on, but can't get home for a few days. In the meantime we are looking for a plan of action in order to prove son's innocense...
Moderators, please move this, if it should be someplace else!
