"Suit says kiss got girl tossed from camp" Associated Press, July 30, 2013
WESTPORT, Conn. — The parents of a 15-year-old girl from Connecticut sued a summer camp in Massachusetts Monday, saying their daughter was kicked out of camp last month after a boy kissed her.
The girl was sent home from Camp Emerson in Hinsdale, and a camp official falsely accused her and the boy of sexually provocative behavior, says the lawsuit filed in Bridgeport Superior Court.
The lawsuit also said the girl suffers from emotional and psychological disorders including obsessive compulsive disorder....
The lawsuit seeks more than $600,000in damages....
The relationship between the girl and boy ‘‘became the summer romance that most teens yearn for,’’ the lawsuit said....
Well, yeah, maybe, but does that mean they should have it?
A camp handbook does not prohibit kissing, and male counselors had encouraged the boy to kiss the girl, according to the lawsuit.
Uh-oh.
The girl, who lives in Westport, was escorted from the camp by a uniformed police officer and was barred from saying goodbye to her friends and counselors, according to the lawsuit.
The family spent $6,450 for the four-week session at the camp, which was not refunded, said Rosemarie Arnold, attorney for the family.

I remember being touched by the counselor, but didn't think there was anything wrong with it at the time. Just camp.
Who can I $ue?
