It seems odd to me that she would say something. I admit that I would be uncomfortable if a young child put his head in my chest, but I certainly wouldn’t charge the child with sexual harrasment. He’s a little kid giving me a hug that doesn’t know any better. I suppose there is always a possibility that he has been exposed to sex at a young age; perhaps he heard his father, a relative, or friends make comments about breasts or saw something on tv. We live in such a sexualized culture that it wouldn’t surprise me. His father sounds like a good man based on this article, and more than likely this hug was completely innocent.

It sounds like there is a problem, not the kid’s problem but YOUR problem!
The three children of my youngest daughter and her husband have always been very affectionate. Hugs and kisses when we all visit each other...the same when it's time to say "see you soon!". The youngest are identical twin boys. Such look-alikes that many in our family could not tell them apart.
Anyway, when these little guys, at ages 3, 4 and maybe 5, gave hugs and kisses, many's the time they landed on my backside. What did they know or care? You can imagine the laughs we had over that.
The perversion in this little boy's case lies with the accusers, IMO.
