POMPANO BEACH, Fla. -- A 10-year-old boy has been suspended from a Pompano Beach elementary school amid allegations he sexually assaulted an 8-year-old classmate.
The alleged attack happened last Friday at Sanders Park Elementary School. A school spokesman said an investigation began Monday and the decision was made Wednesday to suspend the boy.
The parents of the boy who said he was assaulted said they believe that the 10-year-old was armed with a knife. Police have not confirmed that.
The parents of the 8-year-old boy have asked that their son be transferred to another school.
Counseling has been made available to both boys.
The Broward Sheriff's Office is investigating the incident.
