[quote=Anonymous]My 11yo dd, her younger siblings, and my husband were all swimming at a pool at the hotel where we are staying. Dd was swimming underwater and came up to find herself surrounded by a group of slightly older boys, she estimated @13-14. She immediately went back underwater and swam away and one of them pinched her butt. She immediately told my husband quietly (he was on the other side of the pool with younger kids) but was very embarrassed and made him promise not to say anything so he didn’t. He and then they told me about what happened at dinner after.

How would you handle? We both repeatedly told dd she did nothing wrong, but we also want her to learn to either stand up for herself (and/or others) or be ok with an adult saying something on her behalf. She’s usually a strong kid and advocate for herself and others but this was the first time anything like this has happened to her. I remember numerous inappropriate things happening to me from this age on and my mom telling me things along the line of “boys will be boys” and I don’t want her to think it’s ok for boys to get away with behavior like this. But of course their behavior is not her fault and she didn’t do anything wrong by just wanting to get away from the situation. [/quote]
