Would I be able to tell if DS was forcibly retracted?

I am sure he wasn't. My MIL works in the church nursery, so when I left DS for the first time Sunday, I specified that ONLY his grandmother was allowed to change him, since she has read all the intact care info. When I got home, his foreskin looked different. I realized after inspecting it that it had just gotten folded into his diaper, and had retained a little crimp that went away after he was naked for a few moments, but it made me wonder. Would one be able to tell by looking if someone had forcibly retracted a baby?

The end could get red and infected, but maybe not. My ds was forcibibly retracted at 14 months of age but fortunately suffered no ill effects. He is 2.5 now and I think it all grew back together properly. It certainly hasn't been retracted since.

Sometimes you can tell sometimes not. It just depends on the boy and how much damage is done. For me a good indication would be after i left him with someone and the next day he had a red irritated looking foreskin with no apparent cause I would be suspicious.
