[Texas Mom]

One day my three year old came to me and asked who was going to suck his _____ when he went to school.. My heart started to pound and my mouth went dry. I asked him to repeat what he said. It was exactly what I heard him say. He was talking to the little boy next door who had just started first grade and the little friend told him some boys had done that to him and that's what you do when you go to school.. I went to the the parents of the little boy and we went to the school and they checked it out and sure enough some of the older boys.. 4th and 5th graders were getting the little boys in the bathroom and telling them this is what you do when you go to school. Evidently it was a tradition that was being passed from generation to generation, they had been told the same thing by older kids when they started school. I can't imagine no one had ever said anything before. This wasn't recently.. It was 40 years ago.

Texas mom I keep quiet on this board but your story of "40 years ago" hits it dead on. Fone, things were not so much better then.

My screename would indicate I am a male, but I'm not. I am female and I was "raped" when I was 8 years old...1965. I didn't know what exactly was done to me until I was older.

I just wish I knew the answer. Nothing further to add.

Omg, I'm just reeling from that story!

When my child and her friend rode the school bus to kindergarten, a 6 yr boy on the bus (from a very unstable home of course) started saying very sexual things to them - he obviously had seen nude pictures and maybe even porno...he said things no child should ever say, or know about.

The little girls didn't have any idea what he was talking about, but they knew enough that he was scaring them, and saying bad things.

I called the school, spoke to the principal and told the teacher....they were all "working" on "the problem"...this family was a mess - I insisted my child NEVER sit by him on the bus etc.....

I'll never forget the sick feeling I had talking to her about why he said those things....and I taught her some important survival skills to get him to leave them alone.
She always had my complete permission to tell him to Shutup, & kick, hit & scream @ him if he ever touched or threatened her... (thankfully they moved away).

This sort of thing is very common, but the vast majority of it is voluntary. I knew a guy in college who told me that he and his first/second grade pals did this all the time, to each other. They were all having a blast, in their little secret club. But the forcible stuff is a whole different story. And a teacher ignoring a child's complaint about it ought to land her a serious prison term -- if a kid is complaining to a teacher, it's not voluntary.
