[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shocked at people calling the OP out.

The nurse was out of line.  I’m not an reactionary in the slightest but I 100% would have spoken to someone.  Not appropriate.  It’s nkt my job to keep this male nurse employed, it’s my job to protect my child.

I often think DCUM has a sock puppet constantly commenting on any thread that has to do with potential sexual abuse.  [/quote]

Protect your child?!? She was RIGHT THERE and said nothing to the actual nurse! Probably just laughed awkwardly. Coward. If it were really a sexual abuse issue she would have sprung to her get, pushed him away and said "get the hell away from my kid!" But it wasn't. It was just a male jokester camp counselor-type gesture that she blew waaaay out of proportion.

OP here.  I did not laugh.  It wasn’t funny.  I told my child that it is not appropriate for someone to touch his butt without consent. Why am I being called a coward?  The nurse left the room w/i one second of touching my child’s butt.  I did not see him again.  I also didn’t want to confront him in front of my child. I didn’t want to make my child even more uncomfortable to see that.  But didn’t want to leave my children alone.  [/quote]

Fair enough, OP.  I apologize for name calling. It wasn't nice. I think that everyone who reads this has a different response based on what we picture the situation looked like in the moment. I retract what I said above and agree with the poster who said we were not there, so you are obviously the best one to judge the context of the situation. I'm glad that you came back to post how it was handled (sounds like you are very level-headed and rational). Good luck to you, OP.[/quote]
