[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I was really close - my child was standing right next to me and I had a good view of  where the hand went. [b] I asked my son “did he just touch you on your butt?” My son said “yes”.  I said “did he have your consent to touch you there?... It is okay to say ‘no’ when people touch your body, they should have consent.”   And then my son changed the subject and we moved on.[/b]

But yes, I saw what I saw.  Could it have been a mistake and he meant to touch my son’s hip?  Perhaps - would that have been weird still?  Maybe.

As for the overall feeling at the practice - this behavior feels like an outlier.  In the past when they had to examine my children - and examine their private parts - they always explain “I am going to look under your underwear.  This is part of the medical exam to make sure everything is healthy.  It is your body and you are in control of your body. It is only okay for me to look there if you and your parents give me permission because it is for your medical exam and because your parents are right here.  Is it okay if I examine you?” [/quote]

You said this right then -- like in front of the guy?? You didn't mention this before. If so -- the guy is totally expecting that you're pissed and you should go right ahead and tell his manager. (Though if I'm reading this wrong - tell the manager anyway, who cares what this guy is/isn't expecting.)[/quote]

Not in front of the nurse.  He patted then walked out of the room.[/quote]
