6 yr old sexual behavior

I was told about an incident that my grandaughter ( 6 ) was involved in. Her and two other children were playing doctor and there was insertion of object. My grandaughter lives with her mother and boyfriend, where as my and his wife and new son have her every Wed. and every other weekend. Friend of the court told my son, with a prior issue that he legally had no right to take her to a therapist. However, the kids involved mother wanted my grandaughter to apologize for her actions. I told my son that it was not a good idea yet , until it can be determined as to where she learned this. This was far from normal curosity. As far as I know this apology was done. Was I wrong??
My son says the court told him he has no legal rights even though he pays child support and medical...I live 1200 miles away and very concerned.
Thank you

u might be making much to do about nothing; yes all kids play dr and examine the other sex
since u learned about this; does that mean the mother and bf were willing to share this info
it sounds so far; perfectly normal and not something a child would need a therapist for
good luck

If he has no rights the first should be to change that i agree it seems more than normal child curiosity but does it mean abuse ? hard to say the mother and bf just might not be careful enough around her but should that be found out for sure ?absolutely as for the apology i would think its definitely called for it matters where she learned this behavior from but does that make the it not wrong? no she should know that this is not acceptable behavior for anyone and she should say she is sorry. You said that something else happened that made your son want to take her to a therapist so i don't understand why he hasn't already taken steps to have more say in his daughters live but it what he should be doing she can't help herself she is just a child and if there is reason to believe the mother isn't doing her job then its up to her dad to step in and make sure she protected and well cared for and if she's not then he should be taking care of her
