[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 183946, member: 1550"] I think putting him on the registry at his age, and without knowing much, is obscene. Linda, (here I go again...lol) could it be that he really doesn't know this is wrong? Do you think his Spectrum diagnosis may be why he did this? There are Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids who touch (although they rarely threaten because they often don't know it is not a big deal). I feel for all of you. I actually have no opinion as to what has happened because, like with my own kids, the only ones who know are them. There are different reasons for "bad touching." Sometimes it's because the child was abused and is acting out and could be a psychopath, but sometimes the child just does not "get it." That would likely apply to kids on the Spectrum. I've heard of even high functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids just going up to girls and pulling at their breasts--embarassing for all and potentially dangerous to the child (as far as CPS goes), however these particular kids weren't child predators. They didn't know that this was something that they shouldn't do. It's all very complicated. Sadly, I know how CPS reacts/over-reacts to anything sexual. I hope your lawyer is good and can make a difference. I don't want you to think I'm not sympathetic. On the contrary, it brings me back to what WE went through and it breaks my heart for all of you. I'm glad husband is doing well with this. He SHOULD take it on the system. The system is terrible. [/QUOTE]
