Re safeguarding -Comment from child- would you report?

[TheElephantAndBun]

Apologies if this is in the wrong section, but wasn't sure where to post. Last year I was looking after a child who told me "I weed in 'parent's' mouth. Followed by other comments about pooing on parent, all said in a cheerful jokey way with no sign of upset. At the time I thought about it and concluded that there was nothing to worry about- never had any other concerns about child and nothing else was said. But because I concluded I didn't need to report it has stuck with me iykwim ? Not sure what posting here will achieve tbh but it's not something I can discuss with people irl as everyone knows each other. Thoughts?

Report. Do it pronto.

My son says stuff like this all the time! Not sure it is something to report. If you had no other concerns I.e. Child was happy to go to parent, parent seemed appropriate with child, child was clean, fed and appeared generally happy then, imho, it shouldn't raise concerns.

It could be something completely innocent. How old is the child? My 6 year old thinks poo and wee are the funniest things ever and will often say things like "I poo on your head" and laugh. Also, when my brother was a baby, he managed to wee in my stepdad's face during a nappy change (he also wee'd in his own eye another time...). Could it be the child has been told a story of something similar, and that's what they are referring to?

Just sounds like something a child would say because they think it's funny. If you have no other concerns I doubt I'd report it.

I think it depends on child's age and the context things were said. Wee and poo jokes are common place. But was child referring to a parent they don't live with or where there is animosity between parents, any other contact issues mum has raised for example. I would always air on the side of caution especially if you are a child minder etc. If it has played on your mind perhaps a lesson to know in future that you need to raise or at least record any concerns. A year might be too late to investigate but are least it could be noted.

How old was the child?

It's probably nothing but a small chance it could be something. Poo and wee are very funny to kids usually. Was it said to get a reaction or as a flat statement.

My 6 year old and 8 year old say this sort of thing all the time and think it is THE funniest thing ever.

It would depend on the context and what else was said.

If they were laughing and joking saying "I poo on daddies head" then I'd take it as kids being kids. Would probably put a concern form in just in case but say to safeguarding lead and put on the form 'no other concersn'.

If it was shared in a 1-1 chat then I would absolutely have reported it

I'd rather write 10 forms and they amount to nothing than dismiss 1 thing and there be a safeguarding issue.

Said to make me laugh I think. Was smiling about it. This child likes to be cheeky. Was about 4 years old. Lives with parents and no concerns, no changes in behaviour or other safeguarding flags. Had a chat with someone who works in a school recently and I think that reminded me of it. If I'd though it was anything more I would certainly have reported it at the time but I think as it's more distant now I worry as there is no resolution to a non event?
