[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 416158, member: 9175"] Ok, guys, let me give you my take on "it's the parents". My difficult child has chased boys since kindergarten. She always had an "object of desire". We did not allow her to date until high school, but she did have a "boyfriend" the summer before high school... a boyfriend in that he was allowed to come over and sit in our living room when we were walking around the house and he could eat dinner with us. She was so relentless in her boycraziness, that other moms tried to keep their kids away from her. Other parents constantly reported back to me and I assured them their children were safe. If we had boy girl play times (neighborhood kids in the very early years), I kept my eye on them. I had to. if I looked away for a moment, she'd have someone in the closet or something. Always claimiing to be innnocent. We are straight-laced, church going, good parents who did not allow our daugher to watch movies or TV shows that were quesitonable. We were married until she was 15, so it's not like she saw a parade of men/women in the house. We talked to her, took her to counseling put her in the best private school we could afford, surrounded her with a loving family, exposed her to any kind of girl power situation we could find, watched her like a hawk and prayed constantly. There was no porn accessible and we had a keylogger on the computer. When she tried to go there, we came down on her like a ton of bricks. Still, the behavior continued. She would manipulate any situation she could to include a a boy she was intersed in before she aws allowed to date. When we took her cell phone away at age 15 for texting a 28 year old man, she got a secret pre-paid cellphone (whe had no money)_ by manipulaitng a friend. Nothing worked. She is now 19, promiscuous, and obsessed with finding the "perfect relationship". yes, it is very disturbing to hear about kids as young as 4th grade acting sexual but, please understand, their parents have their hands full and, like most parents of difficult children, are doing everything they can think of.
