This is a jerky question, but is there somewhere to look to see what counts as abuse?

[QUOTE="agee, post: 355841"] I don't think he was sexually abused. I certainly don't think a 7 year old waving his penis around and giggling to his brother is some red flag or even that serious. It's not like he did it at school. It's his utter impulsivity at work. He had a tick bite on his penis this weekend so he's been pretty aware of its existence the last couple of days. He knows social rules. Believe me. This was impulsive, ridiculous behavior which I could have dealt with differently, but I'd really had enough at that point. And I get it that people worry about kids being kidnapped, but a) I think this is a fear that is utterly out of proportion to reality, and b) my road is rural. 2-3 cars a day at 20 miles/hour and we know every single occupant. I was more worried about me getting caught than him getting caught. He actually rides his bike up and down the road all the time - but I was worried someone might stop for a chat with him and he might tell them I kicked him out of the car because I am mean, which is exactly what he was thinking, I am sure. Anyway, I appreciate the advice. I don't regret what I did although it wasn't a natural consequence. Next time (and I'm positive there will be a next time) I'll be more prepared. A [/QUOTE]
