[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 175267, member: 84"] Me too. But I'm going to take a stab in the dark....... OK. So this was between the 14 and 13 yr old, I'm guessing mutally consentual. So, was this recent........or when they were 8 or 9? Of course, either way....while I wouldn't condone the behavior, I'd say you're likely dealing with a curiosity situation, than anything. And if that is the case, then it is normal within limits. (I'm thinking more of the 8-9 age range here) I'd let therapist talk to the kids. Make sure nothing else is going on, and decide where you should take it from there. CPS's response doesn't surprise me. You're taking action, and you're getting other professionals involved. You were also proactive in calling them. Shows you are a good parent, love your kids, and have their best interest at heart. Nothing for CPS to investigate. You're covering the bases. I know this has thrown you for a loop. It would (and does) anyone. But you are doing the right things. A well trained therapist should be able to tell you after speaking with the kids if it's curiosity or whatever you happen to be dealing with. Odds are, if it's a case of curiosity (especially if this happened back at age 8-9) punishment isn't going to be very effective. Being proactive to prevent future opportunity would work better. Odds are you knowing has scared the living begeebies out of them enough to cure any further curiosity. Seeing the therapist will run that fact home. I'm sorry I forgot to welcome you to the board in my last reply. Welcome :) , you've found a great place to land. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
