did you not ask?
where are they both now?

lovetoloveyoubaby · 24/04/2009 16:25

omg!! did you ask dh and ds what they where doing (seperately)? how old is your ds? could they have been playing?

angiebaby78 · 24/04/2009 16:27

son is out playing, hubby on computer i didnt ask what they were doing but felt as though it was a strange situation, hubby was 'asleep' although he looked suspicious and when i went back into my room he followed a minute later by the way son is 13

OMG! You must try and find out from your son / DH separately what was going on and see if the stories match.

It may have been totally innocent, but if you feel something was wrong, you MUST check it out.

Lulumama · 24/04/2009 16:28

i think asking either of them anything at this stage could be counter productive

how old is your son?

DD is 3 and often pulls dress up/ pants down if she is itchy or wants to get changed, go to the loo etc...

you say his trousers appeared to be down at the back. so you are not sure?

i would be v v careful of throwing abuse allegations at your H, especially if no other reason to thikn anything untoward

take a deep breath and just think about what to do

angiebaby78 · 24/04/2009 16:28

loveto i havnt asked son yet was gonna ask him later...but what do i say ??? am not sure if i am overreacting

i'd ask them what they were doing, ask seperately and see what they both say!!

angiebaby78 · 24/04/2009 16:31

lulu he was sitting on the edge of the bed and the waistband of his trabkies were down at the back ??

i would try to find proper professional advice immediately, on how to deal with this properly

i thikn the correct advice is not to question the children directly about the abuse

i am not sure which agency you would need to speak to for advice.

if you think he is possibly abusing both your childrne , you have to take the matter in hand swiftly. but i don;t think rushing in with all guns blazing is correct

what makes you suspicious re your DD?

pagwatch · 24/04/2009 16:33

Do they always shut the door? is there any reason for that? None of us shut bedroom doors during the day - I would think it odd.

But I agree that you must be very careful how you handle this

Angie I was abused by a relative in the home and the main thing I felt was shame. I would have just died if my parents had asked me anything about it and i would have felt defensive and angry. Would it be an idea to talk to the NSPCC for some advice?
Please jump in if that is a bad idea people!

jeminthecity · 24/04/2009 16:34

What do you mean by his trousers 'appear to be down at the back'- that in itself wouldn't suggest abuse? Surely?

Lulumama · 24/04/2009 16:34

could you see that for certain? maybe he had been having a scratch of his back? or his bum?

look, you know your family better tahn us, and if you are getting a strong sense of something being wrong, it could well be so.

can you call NPSCC for advice on how to approach this?

shit!! with your dd too

i wouldn't ask dh just yet (incase he flips!) just the dc's but in a very lighthearted way so they don't feel pressured etc!! gl!

claireybee · 24/04/2009 16:35

Were his trousers down as in they could've just ridden down as he was sitting (builder's bum) or right down under his bum? Sorry, am just trying to picture exactly what made you suspicious...

What happened with your dd?

jeminthecity · 24/04/2009 16:35

Yeah- I'd echo what exactly are your suspicions-? There is nothing in your opening post that explicitly cries out abuse, or perhaps I am reading it wrong

angiebaby78 · 24/04/2009 16:35

well she was having a sleepover with her friend and cause she sleeps on top bunk her and friend had double airbed downstairs. anyway i went to bed early woke up about an hour ish later ...no hubby...went downstairs to find him lying on the floor next to the airbed in the dark.....my dd was still awake and hubby said he was just helping her get to sleep ...she is 10 btw ???? i am sooo confused but something really doesnt feel right, i wondered at the time but am now really worried ???

I'm playing devil's advocate here, but 13 year old lad's trackies are always half way down their ankles around here.

Having said that, I think trust your instincts, but be very careful how you go about it.

Really hope for all of your sakes it is all just innocent.

SoupDragon · 24/04/2009 16:36

You say your DS moved quickly from whatever position he was in. What did your husband do?

I can't quite visualise what is wrong with the scenario you describe. DSs (and DD!) often seem to have their trousers low at the back if they are perched on the edge of a seat and leaning forward.

lovetoloveyoubaby · 24/04/2009 16:36

agree approach NPSCC for advise for prof advice!

largeginandtonic · 24/04/2009 16:37

Phone for help immediately, NSPCC.

angiebaby78 · 24/04/2009 16:37

this is why i feel soo confused the trousers could have just been like that ( builders bum ?) am i being paranoid ?

OP posts:
bruces · 24/04/2009 16:39

trust your gut instincts,you obviously think that something was wrong or you wouldn't of posted your concerns,i'd speak to your son when you get the chance,has anything happened before to make you feel suspicious?
