It was done by my husbands half sister when she was 10. It has, needless to say, left a wedge in the family. Unfortunate! We explained to her parents she was probably a victim, but neither one bothered to get her any kind of help so it's out of our court now.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09507014000129322933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245589515098482899.post-32834510933730789852008-08-31T17:25:00.000-04:002008-08-31T17:25:00.000-04:00We had to have this conversation in different cont...We had to have this conversation in different contexts and settings. It's not necessarily something that kids take in at one time.<BR/><BR/>I wish life were less complicated.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02362687820368214420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245589515098482899.post-81670315945747177942008-08-30T18:47:00.000-04:002008-08-30T18:47:00.000-04:00Helena, that makes me so sad.

Pretty harmless at 4 yrs old, but a 6 year old felt uncomfortable about it afterwards and told his mom who called me.<BR/><BR/>Kiki thought it was no big thing, he doesn't mind showing his underwear to anyone. But apparently this isn't the first time this daughter did that with the kids and I guess her parents aren't taking it very seriously. So...ugh... anyway. I was careful not to make it a big deal to Kiki since he doesn't think anything bad happened, he just showed his underwear which he doesn't mind doing -in his mind. But we had a very long talk about how he shouldn't take off his clothes or underpants every unless mom and dad are there. And if he isn't sure, to call us on the phone.<BR/><BR/>so thats what happened. I'm still waiting for Diva to call me back.Sister Sassyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15579850974867756364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245589515098482899.post-69417378025571896692008-08-30T18:32:00.000-04:002008-08-30T18:32:00.000-04:00My child is only one year old but I'm already worr...My child is only one year old but I'm already worrying about those things. Sexual abuse is much more common than people realize because a) kids don't tell everything and b) too many adults choose to close their eyes from the unpleasant truth. When I was ten, some boys of our class raped (with clothes on) one girl in the back of the classroom every time before the teacher came in. Nobody dared to help or say anything so the adults never knew.Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13523767203470842052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245589515098482899.post-6178581008567327022008-08-30T18:09:00.000-04:002008-08-30T18:09:00.000-04:00I talked with my son about it when he was three. ...I talked with my son about it when he was three. And I've just started discussing it with my daughter who is almost three. If they don't know that it's wrong, they won't know to tell someone to stop, or to tell someone else that it happened. I'm a paranoid mommy too, but I would rather be overprotective and keep my kids safe, than to be the other way and have them get hurt.
