[QUOTE="hamlet, post: 451313, member: 11970"] I totally see what you are saying, Marg. When this came out in therapy, my first reaction was to not tell Jane anything assuming that she will think difficult child's story is retaliation for having stolen the ipod touch in the first place. Being as objective as I possibly can be, I believe difficult child's assertions. Stealing the ipod is difficult child's problem. Inappropriate sexual activities is Jack's problem. Two separate problems. While I have a friendly relationship with Jane, I can predict that telling her this information without any evidence other than one boy's word against another will be easily dismissed. If she asks Jack about it he will either deny it or he will lie to cover up. What I may like to see happen - i.e. Jack gets some help - may only serve to push his behavior further underground. I do not have the resources to face possible tit-for-tat "charges" from Jack. Since Jack is leaving us alone and difficult child trusts me enough to continue having discussions about Jack, sexual responsibility, porn and puberty I feel I can protect difficult child much better than if I had to face CPS, (and therefore ex-h,) in this situation. Sigh. It is a no-win matter. [/QUOTE]
