[QUOTE="hamlet, post: 450861, member: 11970"] Thanks to all for your replies. It is a very sticky situation. I did at first believe that this story may be a way for difficult child to deflect attention away from stealing the ipod touch. difficult child also has a tendency to lie to get out of trouble. However, over the course of days difficult child has stuck to his story and I have not detected any holes in it even as the questions I ask get more detailed. difficult child is despondent that he told the truth at this point because of the new boundaries we are creating in our relationship with Jack. difficult child feels that he is being punished even though therapist and I have praised him for doing the right thing by telling. And lastly, even though difficult child knows that I will be informing Jane of these allegations he has not tried to retract his story, which he probably would do if it were a lie. I believe that if the web browser history on the ipod touch has not been cleared it will show the date and the sites that have been visited. This should exonerate difficult child from being the one who accessed inappropriate material. Since this came out on Monday I have been trying to determine the next steps and what to do about Jack coming over. I will arrange a few playdates for difficult child with other friends to round out the summer, but that does not change the fact that Jack lives just a few doors down from us and had been accustomed to being at our house for hours at a time. Jack has apparently detected reticence on our part and has been staying away the last few days. Perhaps he is preparing to make equal accusations of difficult child or to try to deny what he has apparently been doing. I don't know. Jack's summer days are spent in the company of his older brother, who is 17. The two also share a bedroom in their small home. My children have never gone to Jack's house when the parents are absent. When asked why Jack would never propose gay sex to easy child, difficult child replied that easy child would tell. easy child would not keep the secret like difficult child did for months. therapist recommended that I tell Jane the matters concerning Jack that were revealed in counseling. The confidentiality privilege is difficult child's and because we care about Jack and family we are willing to sacrifice it in the hope that Jack will get help. therapist did not mention anything about she being obligated to report this to anyone. Sigh. X-husband is taking the boys on Friday for visitation and so I will try to talk face-to-face to Jane sometime after they leave. ETA: The number "75" in regard to how often Jack has solicited difficult child came from when the therapist asked him to estimate how many times this has happened. She was saying, "Was it 1-5 times, 5-10? 10-20?" and so on, and difficult child said, "75." The last time it happened was after the ipod touch was returned, last Sunday outside in a vacant lot near our home where the kids play. Jack asked difficult child to engage in "gay sex" and difficult child said, "no." [/QUOTE]
