This. I have the feeling people are exceptionally offended because it was gay sex. They'd let hetero sex pass.

Honest question. If your kid walked in on sex accidentally- you and your DH, an aunt and uncle, an older cousin, etc- would you freak out and make it seem like sex is a terrible dirty thing and never let him see those people or do that activity again (in this case, swimming was canceled for example). Or would you explain what they saw, ask if they had any questions, reiterated that it’s supposed to be private but that walking in by mistake wasn’t their fault and not to feel bad about it, that if anyone ever tries to make them watch that sort of thing on purpose to tell mom and dad, etc?

You cannot truly make this comparison. They didn’t accidentally walk in on 2 consenting adults who were in a private room. They walked in on group sex (4 teens involved) in a school locker room. I’d be upset if my kids’ aunt and uncle plus a couple friends were having sex in a place others including children could walk into. It’s weird. This shouldn’t be treated as normal.

It was either 2 or 4 (depending on the kid you ask) consenting teenagers (maybe adults?) who probably thought they had privacy since it was a locker room. It’s not ideal and it’s not something I’d like my kids to see . But it doesn’t sound like anything newsworthy unless there are details missing. Falls under the “S happens” category like someone else said. Talk to your kids, explain what sex is, don’t act freaked out when your 9 year old doesn’t know what her body parts are like the above poster, and you guys will be ok.

My niece is in third grade and already wears a bra. Your 9 year old should know what her body parts are.

Why on earth does your third grader need a bra

That is ignorant! Some children get their periods at around this age. Some need bras. https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2024/05/31/nx-s1-4985074/girls-are-getting-their-first-periods-earlier-heres-what-parents-should-know



Because my third grade niece is 9 and has started developing. It’s well within the realm of normal actually. She will probably get her period when she’s 11.

Oh please. GFY. Not even close.

Seriously, I don't know how DC parents are downplaying or minimizing this incident. If that was in MoCo, this thread would have been 50 pages by now and everyone and their mothers would have been blaming MCPS.
