[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 593130, member: 1550"] Thanks, California and Dixie. If it hasn't happened to you or your child, I don't really think you understand how upsetting this stuff is to a younger sibling. I would never make light of any sort of sexual acting out...most of the time, as in your brother, it is done by one sibling because abuse has happened to him too...but even so it's the younger, defenseless child who needs protecting. The older one needs help and some kids are not safe at home. Agree that in this case, I would leave it to the op, although WAY too many parents don't want their offending child to get into trouble so they try to pass abnormal sexual acting out as normal. There is nothing normal about a much older and stronger sibling doing this to a much younger, weaker sibling. Sure, kids the same age or a little younger/older do this all the time and it's just joking around, but that's not what is going on here. This little girl is two years old. I think the OP did the right thing and I hope both of her kids get appropriate help. Two years? REALLY???? Somebody dropped the ball big time. [/QUOTE]
