Tusla to retain file on boy, 7, cleared of ‘sex abuse’

A seven-year-old boy, against whom an allegation of sexual abuse was made to Tusla, is to have a file on him retained on record in the child and family agency despite the complete dismissal of the allegation.

The boy was reported to Tusla by the principal of his school in Munster after a female classmate made two allegations in three months that he had “poked” her in the schoolyard.
