[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 734623, member: 16024"] Hi HMBgal, I don’t have any experience or advice, but I did want to offer support for you and your family. I don’t think you are overreacting, given your grandson’s history with this kind of thing, and the details of what he said to the other child. A lot of kids in the old days did the you-show-me-yours-and-I-will-show-you-mine, but this is taken to a whole other level. Plus, we were less likely to have been exposed to porn, which is so much more available now. I am thinking your grandson has a counselor, right? Would you be able to talk to them tomorrow and get some advice on how to handle this? Maybe even the three of you (yourself, grandpa, counselor) sitting with him and discussing it together? Find out how she views this. If, by chance, the counselor tries to sweep this under the rug, I would find someone else in a hurry. I hope this gets addressed before it has a chance to escalate. I am concerned about what may have happened with the girl he talked about. I would make sure that he isn’t alone with his sister, just to make sure she stays safe. I would keep a close eye on him for the foreseeable future, so you can be sure as possible that nothing else happens, and he isn’t exposed to porn. Very sorry for all involved. Apple [/QUOTE]
