Dear Mumsnet,
Just now a thread on AIBU about sex in hotel rooms with ‘sleeping’ child was closed at tge OP’s request.
It was the OP who asked for this very recent and active thread to be closed, but I want to alert you to what a pity this is as this thread could have been helping prevent child abuse. Couldn’t there be a way of anonymising the OP question?
The assumption is that while sleeping in the same hotel room as a child, they won’t know if the adults have sex because of the presumption they are asleep/will not wake up.
Many answers show children are awake or do wake up, and can be traumatised or affected.
A child safe guarding professional answered that this is child SA.
Meanwhile the thread showed this is not an uncommon occurrence.
Not only is this child sexual abuse, but mothers/stepmothers may be being coerced into doing this.
