My daughter is exactly like this with her older brother, and us parents as well. I bet the crazies on DCUM wouldn’t jump to conclusions in our situation!

1. Probably this child is an extreme sensory seeker.

2. But he should respect others’ wishes regarding personal space, and the parents are squarely responsible for enforcing that.

3. I would not call CPS, but I would tell the parents that it makes everyone uncomfortable, it’s not appropriate, and it’s wise for a young person to understand that no means no. Say it seriously, and they’ll take you seriously.

Statistically and physically speaking, it is very unlikely your younger DD is abusing her older brother unless there are very important facts missing from your post; that is not true in the case OP reports. In your situation, I would still intervene if it got to the level OP describes, but I would feel confident that DS is capable of stopping her himself AND that nothing worse is going on. In the OP's case, it is quite clear that the girl cannot stop her older brother and it is possible that something worse is going on. At the very least, she is getting a TERRIBLE message. Let's say this is all totally innocent sensory seeking from a brother on the spectrum, but she's learned she must go along w/ it and her parents are no help. What happens when an older boy at school behaves similarly for nefarious reasons? I can assure you she will think it's normal and not seek help and that, alone, is a major failure of parenting.[/quote]
