[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 279029, member: 1550"] And I'm on the opposite end due to my experiences. If the therapist is not an expert on sexual predators, I would not believe it's an isolated incident that will never happen again--there is simply NO way to predict or know that or to even know how often he has donr it. I don't blame stepmom for her caution. I would do the same. You can not assume that it only happened once or that it will never happen again. in my opinion that is the most important issue to work on. I know you love him to pieces and want everything to be all right, but please be careful when he is with younger children. Experimentation and curiosity is with kids the child's own age. Five years younger than him and it is definitely abuse, and, if this child gets straight A's in school, I believe he knew that. I hope I"m wrong and all turns out well. Pleases don't drop the abuse issue though. If it happens again, he could end up found guilty in a court of law, like our adopted son was. And he was then sent to a detention center for young sexual predators, which was like a jail. I"m sure you don't want it to come to that, but it was out of our hands. Even if we had not agreed with it, CPS did not ask us--they told us. They also threatened to remove the other kids if he didn't leave. Good luck, whatever you decide. You're in a tough spot. [/QUOTE]
