Boy in school asking to see DDs privates

[GrabbyGabby]

DD is in yr 3. Just heard that another child or perhaps 2 boys asked her to show them her privates.

Don't have much more detail than that.

How would you respond, and how would you expect the school to respond?

The school should log it as sexual harassment and should take it very seriously. The boys should receive a consequence, and the parents of the boys should be informed.

Other parents have been told and i now know who it was, and it is exactly the boys i would have predicted. They are quite the double act.

DD seems to be fine which is helping with the rage.

I would expect the school to deal with the boys and potentially to do a more general talk about keeping privates private with the class. At least that is what has happened in my son's school when this happened in yr 3. It was girls asking a boy though which may be perceived differently though. Certainly no one suggested it was sexual harassment.

I’d praise my child for telling me/an adult at school as applicable. I’d be available to hear if they were upset or had other things they wanted to tell me about what had happened. (We had a similar incident which was initially brushed off by child but a day later during a “car chat” a lot more details came out and we went back and reported to school that what they thought was a one off was not.)

I wouldn’t expect to hear or be told how the boys were dealt with specifically but I would not be surprised if the whole class was also spoken to and reminded of appropriate behaviour.
