[quote=Anonymous]OP, you did well to stay calm and supportive of your son.  Now comes the hard part:  following through with the parents of the other boy.

My story:  my next door neighbor's six year old son lured my not-yet-three year old daughter into his family's minivan while I was chatting with his mom and watching our kids play in our yards.  Once we realized those two were no longer in view, we looked around and my neighbor suddenly ran to her car.  He had taken her dress off and was touching her inappropriately.

I brought my kids inside and talked to my daughter.  That evening, both couples sat down, and we calmly said that they needed to find out what was going on with their son, and let us know as soon as they learned something.  In therapy, he admitted to sexual abuse by another neighbor, (another child), and an entire web of abuse was discovered, involving adults and children.  This was not a suppressed memory situation--all parties admitted their guilt when confronted.  It was ugly.  The children all received the help they needed.

Please, OP, (I hope this is not another fake post I'm wasting time on, but at least then this is all imaginary), this is very serious.  My husband worked as a prosecutor, and what you are describing has red flags all over it.  Now, perhaps the child was just exposed to pornography, and has never been physically abused, but no 4 year old would act out such things from their own imagination, and whatever the source, it needs to be looked into.

And do not let the boys play out of your sight, even for a moment.

I'm sorry this happened.[/quote]
