Speaking of HUGE LEAPS.
Listen if you're not asking in good faith, go off. But you asked why you were the only one who thought it was crazy to go from the presented facts to sexual assault. And I explained why it's not crazy. If you've got some extra agenda about how boys should be allowed to lay on top of their sisters and hold them down and kiss them in public (but apparently also be given the benefit of the doubt about internalizing taboos about incest), have that thread without me. |
The self control would come from the incredible societal taboo of rape, not to mention incestual rape. Like how you might hate your friend and want to kill him- and some kids might progress to actually punching their friend in a moment of passion, although many wouldn't- but most kids aren't going to ACTUALLY kill their friend because it's so incredibly not okay in society to do that. I kind of see this the same way. He is being inappropriate- yes. he should stop- yes. Is he forcing rape and incest on his sister? Chances are, no. So OP should totally step in and speak up to the parents but I thikn everyone on this thread who is panicking about the definite incest/rape going on in that bedroom can calm down. |
Of course they shouldn't be allowed to. I think he sounds like he needs help with boundaries for sure. But literally you guys have jumped from "he picks her up and hugs her at the pool when she says no" (remember the forcible kissing was years ago so probably more kid-like I would assume) to "he is forcing his penis inside her against her will". THAT IS A HUGE LEAP. And if you can't see why, then I'm sorry. All 13 year olds are chock full of hormones and 99.9% of them don't rape their pre pubescent sisters. |
Why does anyone believe this boy wouldn’t be already raping his sister? He’s obviously ok with kissing her, pinning her down, and “touching” her - IN PUBLIC!! And so are the damn parents! |
It is concerning for sure. Don't agree that it's CPS worthy without more details. Kids are fueled by hormones at that age. Agree with poster who says most young teens are not going to rape their siblings no matter how hormonal they are. |

OP here. What sets the context for this behavior is that the boy has always gotten what he wanted. Permissive style parenting. Mom never said no to him when he was little. He always did what he wanted and he is used to getting his way by any way possible.
He always walked all over his sister - took her birthday presents, ruined her activities because he wanted to do something else, the family did what he wanted, she didn't have any voice. He pushes her friends away because he want her to belong to him. So the way I see him treat her is like his personal property. I think she got used to it though. |
Ok, does OP say he is touching her vagina in public? If so , I stand down, because that's beyond the pale right there. But I didn't see that. |
He's laying on top of her and kissing her in public, so I'm not seeing a recognition of taboo against incest. At his age most boys aren't expressing physical affection like that with their sisters. It's developmentally inappropriate and it's not being corrected. He's picking her up and carrying her around and holding her against his body all day at the pool, regardless of whether she says no, so I'm not seeing a recognition of any taboo against violating consent. Taboos against rape and incest exist because those things are explicitly forbidden and met with outrage, punishment, shaming, etc. He's getting a free pass and being treated like he's done nothing wrong. |

Taboos are not keeping kids safe. Of kids who are sexually assaulted, 36% are assaulted by their fathers (20%) or other relatives (16%). She needs to call. If there is nothing wrong and the parents just need to actually parent their kids, then they will get told that. Let's all hope that is the resolution. If the parents aren't uncomfortable with their son holding down or grabbing or picking up their child and rubbing her body like that, then op talking to them will do ZERO. And this girl needs help. She needs help just from what OP has seen, and probably from more that OP hasn't seen. OP is not equipped to handle this. Let professionals do their job. |
Or he doesn't want her to get close enough to any friends to tell them what is really going on. |

And don't forget that 25% of girls and 16% of boys experience sexual abuse before 18. |
The thing is, it started before, years ago. I'm not sure when exactly. But he would lie in top of her and kiss her at the age of 8-9 maybe? No one thinks maybe it's just delayed childhood affection. But he's still doing physical stuff although not kissing her (not in public anyway). |
This is so disturbing. Without intensive therapy, it will be a miracle if she doesn't end up with an abusive partner. She's already been conditioned for it. How do her parents not recognize this? OP, have you raised this with them? That she is being conditioned for abuse by others in the future? |

I would have never remained silent the first time I witnessed ANYTHING inappropriate.
I have in fact said in public to complete strangers: “Your sister said NO!” I don’t care if anyone is embarrassed. I DO care about child safety and protection. You all should to. |
