Advice needed about molestation

[saralou15]

A 10 year old relative who has recently lost his dad has just told his nan that his older cousin touched him in bed. His cousin is 17 and has some learning/socialisation difficulties. There is no question that we believe this has happened, but how do we broach this with the 17 year old and his parents? Should we go directly to them or go to the police first?

Footle - Apologies - I was being harsh about your age. What I mean is that those of an 'older generation' would have treated these kind of crimes differently. What was acceptable then is not acceptable now. Hope this helps.

CookieDough, I'm not the poster you and I were both objecting to.
But whatever.
