Teen is all over his sister

[Anonymous]

My friend has a 13 year old boy and a 10 year old girl. The boy has been very physical in playing with his sister. It's always initiated by him, not her. He constantly touches her, picks her up, holds her, he used to lie on top of her on the floor and kiss her.

His mom thinks it's just brother sister love but it looks weird to me. The still sleep in the same room.

Today we hung out together at the pool and he would just pick her up and hold her close to his body and touch her like she's his toy the whole time we were there.

Is this normal sibling affection?

Obviously not

Um no

What should I say to their mom?

No. I’d be worried too.

Very close

I think it depends- does SHE (the little sister) seem uncomfortable? My 9 yr old and 3 yr old are currently sharing a bed on vacation.

My kids are all very affectionate.

Your description doesn’t give enough information.

No. There's enough info. This is weird and not cool.

Has he gone through puberty yet?

If that is how it has always been and he hasn't yet gone through puberty then I don't think it is that weird. If the sister likes the affection and the kids are just close then physical affection isn't a bad thing.

This may be child abuse (child on child abuse) please let DCF know

OP here. He was weird like this a few years ago. For example, he would get on top of her on the floor and lie there and kiss her.

I don't know how she feels about it anymore. She sometimes be resists but he's strong and always gets his way, while parents just let them work things out. I think the girl just goes along. Feels like there are no boundaries respected at all. If she says no he doesn't stop and the parents just think kids will work it out themselves.

Oh please. They won't do anything. Ask mom if she's sure the girl is okay with it, just as a way to push the conversation.
