Should I take this to social services

my Ex and I are divorced. We have a 5.5 yr old daughter. Today I walked in on her positioning all her female Barbies around ken and touching him. I asked what she’s doing. She said she saw it in the video I’m sexy and I know it which daddy shows her before bed sometimes, where women are touching his chest and “private parts” (her words). She was very sheepish and didn’t want to say bc it’s wrong.

I am concerned he’s raising her already hypersexualised. Should I tell the school? I’m concerned about his parenting.

im sorry but that’s not oversexualised behaviour. You can’t just breach a court order because your child watched a music video.

The oversexualised behaviour isn't the watching of the video, it's the positioning of the dolls and the reference to touching private parts.

This is just such an enormous red flag for safeguarding. As a mother and a teacher, please report.

Many many parents of young children will have used the words ´private parts’ - it’s the phrase used in the Pantasaurus Song for a start. It’s a non-explicit way to explain to small children which parts of their body (everything covered by underpants) are considered private and that no one should be asking to see them/touch them.

What are you talking about ?
have three kids two very very much adults I think o know how to teach a child about private parts. Honestly !
nwvee herd the song never seen the song and neither has any youngest child. Maybe diff areas teach the kids diff things.

As for my child they know whats what without fear .
Just because I asked who’s words as they wouldn’t be my words to my child they two specific words .
As explained previously.

I wasn’t questioning your parenting. At all. I was just pointing out that ´private parts’ isn’t a surprising or worrying turn of phrase for OPs 5year old to know. You seemed to be implying it might be.

OP you need to speak to social services. If they recommend stopping contact INSIST you have that in writing.

With a court order you can't stop contact without advice from police/SS. If you do you risk accusations of parental alienation. Lots of people who don't understand the family court will advise stopping contact but what's best for the kids is getting proof you are doing the right thing or it can backfire big time with more contact/change of resident parent. Ive seen abused women stop contact and then loose their kids to the abuser- this really happens more than it should
