[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually don't find the specific acts to be that disturbing and explored similar things with other boys at that age, despite none of the kids involved having been abused (to the best of my knowledge).

What I do find worrying is that the other boy seemed very focused on it while your son was indicating discomfort. It doesn't sound like mutual curiosity.[/quote]

+1. Had it been casual and mutual interest, I would consider it within the range of normal, though not something that could be treated as acceptable. The red flag, I think, is the persistence in the face of someone else's discomfort... clearly Alex has somehow gotten a skewed idea about it being okay to touch people in ways they do not want, and does not seem to understand that nobody should be touching anybody else in a way that makes them uncomfortable. I echo the PPs that I would be concerned Alex has been exposed to something inappropriate or is being abused, and because of that possibility his mother needs to be informed immediately in order to protect him. At the absolute least, if nothing like that is going on, his mother needs to know in order to work on reinforcing appropriate boundaries.[/quote]
