Seven year old with "inappropriate" magazine

[claraquack]

I gave the seven-year-old daughter of friends of ours a lift to school today. She had a Company magazine with her that their cleaner had given her. Glancing at it, she had it open on a page with the title"The ten best orgasms". The next page she turned to was "The Last Sexual Taboo". She was taking this magazine into school.

My daughters are too young to even be able to read a mag like this yet and I don't know much about seven year olds but surely this sort of thing isn't really appropriate for them? Her mum is overseas at the moment so I can't mention it to her - do you think I should say something to her dad or would that just be interfering and busy-body? Would reading about organsms and sexual taboos be a problem for a seven year old or would it just go over their heads?

I don't know the parents that well but worry that she only has this mag because her mum is away and her dad probably doesn't have a clue what is in it.

I'd have explained to the dd that it was a grown up magazine and that these aren't allowed in school, so I'd look after it. Besides, it would get trashed, so best left at home.
Not busy body at all to do this - I imagine her dad would be grateful for you intercepting it.

I would tell the dad, do it in a "You might like 2 know" tone, just point at the inappropriate pages, no harm done I'm sure but I'd prefer DD-8yo not read that yet, either!

I agree, just mention it to her Dad, not in an alarmist or accusatory way but just to let him know that it might be a bit advanced for her.

I have a 7 year old DD and she wanted a mago to cut up and make a picture out of, I had a copy of cosmo, which we all know is pure sex(why do I think I bought? ), before I gave it to her I had a quick glance through and then changed my mind about giving it to her because I thought it wasn't suitable for her to be chopping out pictures of boobs and titles about orgasms!

It is easy to forget that these mags have quite explicit content. I tend to think fashion and beauty when I leave them lying around but now DD is reading quite well I am being a little more alert.

I would do a coversation drop in like Brokenarm suggests

Thanks, I think you are right I should tell him. I think I will send him a text as I don't really want to tell him in front of her (I am picking her up to take to school again tomorrow). But then again what if he did know about the mag and thought the content didn't matter. Agh, this is why I wish her mum were around, I would find it a lot easier talking to another mum about these things....

I sent him a text and he has thanked me so I feel I have done my duty! Thanks again for your advice.
