[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason it feels abnormal is the specific sequence of events—he left his home, found your son, lured him away from the group, found a private location, then engaged in this series of inappropriate actions in a span of 15 minutes, gradually ramping up (exposing himself, then son, then touching son, then asking to be touched).  So while nothing has happened YET that is traumatic or dangerous to your son, this behavior feels much more intentional than normal body play for those ages, and it seems very likely that he will escalate, if given the chance.  I wouldn’t call CPS, but I would contact the guidance counselor at the school this fall and report the situation so someone with more context and experience has eyes on this situation.[/quote]

DP. Agree with this. It’s possible the 6 year old has been sexually abused. [/quote]

I had the same thoughts. I would be really stressed he came over and took your child inside and this happened. I think you should make your yard off limits to this child for a while at least. Maybe also talk to your pediatrician and see if they have any other thoughts; ours is very experienced and has good advice about who’s normal and not and when to start escalating things. [/quote]
