[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 281391, member: 1991"] Definitely talk to the pediatrician, and also diarise the phone call yourself. The mother does sound like she "protesteth too much" over "don't ever tell anyone that again". A worry, you should never say that to a child in this situation. It should never be about covering it up, instead it should be about learning what is safe and what is not. Considering what Little Cherub is going through, some sort of inappropriate touching or exploring could well be 'normal' under the circumstances. of course it's not good to allow it to continue, for her sake and the other kids', but she certainly shouldn't be made to think it's a punishment issue, or she will bury all info about it. The mother really sounds like she can't cope on any emotional level, either with her daughter's encopresis or the possibility of abuse. At least she rang you to let you know. WHat a mess for you. And for her. Poor darling, no wonder everything is so confusing for her. Marg [/QUOTE]
