OVIEDO, Fla. – While all the other students at Florida’s Jackson Heights Middle School break for the weekend on Friday, Ella Fishbough will be heading to detention.

That’s because school administrators are accusing the eighth grader of engaging in “inappropriate touching” with a male friend in school.

“I just like hugged them. It was literally for a second,” 14-year-old Ella tells Local 10.

The Seminole County school district bans “inappropriate touching,” but enforcement is left up to the discretion of individual principals. At Jackson Heights, even hugs are banned.

“I do not feel that this ‘no hugging, holding hands, arm-linking’ would be considered inappropriate touching,” Ella’s mother, Kathy Fishbough, says.

Ella received detention after she received a warning from administrators earlier this moth. At that time, they caught her after the same boy “put his hand on her head.”

“I do think about inappropriate touching and boys and girls of this age having feelings for one another, but that’s not what we’re dealing with here. And if administration can’t tell the difference between a friendly, ‘How are you doing’ hug and an inappropriate hug, then I think we have another big problem,” Ella’s mother says.

According to Kathy, the principal is an anti-PDA hardliner.

“I did ask the principal, if something happened in our family, and she needed to console her cousin or her cousin wanted to console her, would she get in trouble? She said, ‘Yes, ma’am. She would get a PDA,” Fishbough claims.
