The saga continues.
Thanks to everyone who responded to my initial post. I had been away a couple of days from the forums and had not had a chance to thank you all.
Anyway, this story with my six year old and his older cousins does not seem to end. Last week, my BIL told me that his boys (the older cousins) told him that my six year old has tried three times to touch them either on their bottoms or penis. I don't know the whole story of when this happened, etc. But, one thing is for sure, both my husband and I agreed that this is totally NOT DS. This is what I have noticed with DS (and I stay at home so he spends lots of time with me). DS is not fascinated at all by his private parts or other kids' privates. I have never seen him try to touch his brother or any other kid. I have never been told by another parent that DS has tried to touch their child. DS is very popular with fellow moms - in other words, DS is very well behaved and other moms seek playdates with him all the time. So, I am completely baffled by this accusation.
After BIL told me about the supposedly three times DS tried to touch his cousins, his wife then decided to call me to tell me about it too. Suggested I should talk to our ped and to our son directly. I just don't believe that my DS would do such thing or maybe the cousins thought DS was trying to touch them when in reality maybe he was not - the cousins afterall, do play rough at times and they "wrestle". As you may recall older cousins are 9 and 11.
So, how do you think I should handle this? The whole story sounds very weird and to be honest, even though I have no reason to doubt the cousins, I also have no reason to believe them either. They see each other very infrequently btw. What should I do? TIA.
