[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 453185, member: 1233"] I hope that you can give difficult child some reward for coming to you and telling you when it happened. Not to make a big deal about it, but to reinforce that he did the right thing. It is likely that Jack will try to make him think it si the wrong thing to do. As for Jane, she doesn't seem to realize that a kid may not want to discuss sex with an adult but be more than willing to seek it out on his own and to discuss it with kids. Heck, think about when you were a teen. If your parents brought up sex did you want ANYTHING to do with the conversation? But how about with your friends - at whatever age sex became a topic of interest to you? I think that Jane is hiding from this. having Jack and his bro share a room is not a good thing, esp as bipolar runs in families and I have to wonder if the older bro is also bipolar and also may have hypersexuality to deal with?? That would be a really BAD combo to share a room, in my humble opinion. Sadly, I see a LOT of parents who refuse to face that their kids have problems and that it isn't a "phase" or whatever. You have done what you could for Jack. Now you need to put some limits in place so that your son is protected. If Jack is being shown porn or groomed or molested by his brother or someone else, well, he is likely to do those things to other kids. You have to do everything you can to protect your son even if Jane won't do anything to protect Jack. You may not be a mandated reporter or there may be no teeth in the law that would make you a mandated reporter, but you DO have the option of reporting this to CPS if you think that Jack is really having a problem. Chances are they will at least investigate if you tell them that Jack has made overtures to get your child to have gay sex with him and has shown your son porn and has tried to touch your son's genitals. You can do this anonymously, but Jane will likely assume you reported this. Sadly, short of CPS involvement, Jack may not get any help. You have to decide if this is a step you are willing to take and if it is warranted. [/QUOTE]
