[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about this. Tell your sister to go 2 full weeks of never letting your son and her BF to be alone. Not for a minute. See if he asks to watch him or asks her to run grocery shopping, spend the night as a "family" or anything that looks like he may want him alone.  THAT could be very telling. [/quote]

That is something for OP to try, but not before or instead of asking the 10 yr old directly what is going on and why he gets so upset.  That has to be the #1 next step, who knows how serious the situation is.  If OP's sister isn't taking it seriously, someone needs to just ask the kid and find out as much as he'll tell, and hopefully take whatever next steps are necessary.

Really wish OP could offer to be the childcare instead of boyfriend, but for many reasons (schedule, logistics, etc) that may not be possible.  But if it is possible, that would probably help a LOT to both protect the nephew if anything is going on, and also uncover what upsets the nephew so much about BF.[/quote]

I agree with asking but he may not tell the truth.  This is another way to investigate. [/quote]
