AURORA, COLO. (AP) -- A 6-year-old boy who was suspended from his suburban Denver school for three days after school officials said he recited a racy line from a popular song has been allowed to return to school.

Stephanie Meadows said she met with school officials Monday and they agreed to consider changing their findings from sexual harassment to harassment because of his age. School officials declined comment.

D'Avonte Meadows, a first-grader at Sable Elementary School in Aurora, was accused of sexual harassment and disrupting other students for allegedly telling a girl "I'm sexy and I know it," a line from a song by the popular duo LMFAO. He was suspended Wednesday.

The boy's mother says the allegations went too far, and her son was singing in the lunch line, not to the girl.
