[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a former nanny turned Social Worker who has worked extensively with sexually abused children.

In my opinion, this is one of those situations where it could be normal and could be a sign of something else going on.  I would talk to the parents and get their input. Does he behave the same way with his parents, or only with you?  Also, get information from the school and anywhere else he spends frequent time at.  Usually (but not always) problem behavior is exhibited in more than one environment.  Is there anyone at school (counselor, social worker, etc) that you could speak to about your concerns? They may also have some suggestions on how to react that might be more effective.

Please remember, that not all children who are exhibiting sexually aggressive or concerning behaviors have been sexually abused themselves. I hate when I see people automatically start pointing fingers at people in these situations, because it is not always the case. It means that they have been exposed to sexual material in some way and haven't been taught proper boundaries.  [/quote]
It's astounding that a professional could think that this child's behavior might be normal, based on what the nanny has reported.[/quote]

PP said may or MAY NOT be normal. It's astounding how quick posters on this board are to push their own agenda. Try reading the whole post before feeling compelled to comment. [/quote]
Did read the whole post. My agenda is to encourage the nanny to get some good professional help for a situation that is obviously not normal.[/quote]
I was referring to the poster who was commenting that you thought the behavior was normal. I completely agree with your original comments. [/quote]
