childrendoctor play..

my 6 year old daughter told me two nites after having my nephew stay he is 5 years old. That he pulled her pyjamas bottom down and pinched her vagina and she felt scared. I told her i was happy that she told mummy this had happened and that touching privates parts of other children is not nice..i tried not to over react even though my heart was pounding. I calmly explained that his mum what had happened also..now just when i thought it could not get any worse about 3 weeks has passed after the incident and my daughter has told me that her 5 year old cousin also tried lick her in her vagina but she sed NO STOP I DONT LIKE IT...I dont know what to do from here about the situation as i know children are curious but this surely crosses boundaries

I agree with special mom.the boy is just doing what he sees or experienced, which is sad
I would let him come over but NEVER LEAVE THEM ALONE OR HIM SPEND THE NIGHT..WHICH I THINK YOU ARE ALREADY DOING THAT.I just think u shouldn't push him away but cut down on visits until it is resolved tell the mom srry but he can only come around for a couple hrs n.he can't stay..how about asking him why he does it? Did someone make him do that?where did u see it from

That specific of child play isn't really play. The nephew has seen something such as pornography or adults engaged in sex or he has been molested.  I would talk to his parents and be honest.

Child on child molestation happens.  Do NOT let these children sleep together or be alone together.  You need to supervise at all times.  This is a wake up call that the world has hazards in it and they can be right under our noses.  

I wouldn't demonize this 5 year old boy.  I feel bad as he's seen something or something sexual has happened to him.  Ugh.  Poor kid.  good luck

It might not be a bad idea to have your daughter evaluated by mental health professional.  The mental health professional would be able to sort things through and decide what needs to happen next.
