Not sure which category to post in but it concerns my 7 year old son. He has been friends with a boy in his class since they started school and I have subsequently become good friends with his mum.
However, over the past year or so I have found that this particular boy has acted a bit oddly towards my son, when we have a playdate at each other's houses and at school. He can come across extremely charming and his mother obviously dotes on him, but some of the things he does is quite devious and controlling, like making my son eat all of his lunch or he will tell on him, ordering him not to play with another friend at school etc. This made my son really upset to the point that he was reluctant to go to school.
Anyway, fast forward to last month and we were having the pants conversation whilst I was tucking him in and me telling him that absolutely no one is allowed to touch his privates etc. I then asked if any one had, totally expecting him to say no, when he said that this particular boy had, once in his bedroom and once in my son's bedroom. I asked him how it made him feel and he said it upset him. He said he made him pull his jeans and pants down and then started touching his privates. I know kids are curious about these things (I'll show me yours if you show me mine) but because it was against my sons wishes, I think I can't allow them to be alone in the same room without supervision.
It really upset me. Do you think I should tell the mother or just distance ourselves?
