[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 294429, member: 1169"] It doesn't sound like your son was coerced. I think that is a key point. If he thought it was just a game, he will probably not be very traumatized. Just teach him that private parts are not toys and that he shouldn't touch others nor allow them to touch his. I think a therapy may make him feel that there is something wrong with him. (Therapy is great when something is wrong but if this was innocent play on your son's part...) Regarding your friend's son, I would let her know what your son said and that you are no longer comfortable having the boys sleep in the same room. It will be up to her to decide if her son needs help. Also, child-on-child sexual contact without force/coercion is not abuse and should not trigger a cps investigation as long as the parents are taking steps to stop it. [/QUOTE]
