I recently had a discussion with a friend who has a 5 year old son as well as a 19 year old son from a previous marriage. My friend says that she would never leave the 2 boys alone unattended, ie watching a movie in the older boys room, playing video games together in a closed room etc because she has heard of so many stories about sexual abuse and wants to be careful. She says that her caution is not just with her older son (who has never given any indication in any way that he would consider doing anything wrong to the younger brother) but rather with any person. Is this reasonable behaviour or is my friend going to far in her protection? Should children not be able to develop natural happy relationships with the people around them?
