A 75-year-old volunteer at a Springfield school is under investigation for alleged inappropriate contact.
The State Journal-Register reports several children complained about the way the man touched them, and that at least one saw what was described as an inappropriate poem the man had written.
The man had been part of the foster grandparent program through a group called One Hope United, and had gone through a background check before being allowed to volunteer at the school. The group has now dismissed the man as a volunteer.
