My daughter(6f) had her friend (7f) over to play today, I kept checking on them and thought they were acting strange and thought it was weird that the friend was putting a baby doll under my daughters shirt. When I would walk into the room they would act surprised. I checked again and caught the friend and my daughter in the closet with the friend shining a flashlight on my daughters underwear. I asked what they were doing and neither of them said anything, I asked again and the older girl said the were “getting pregnant” I asked how you get pregnant and the friend said “by eating too much food.” I immediately said it was time to clean up and sent the girl home. After she was gone I casually asked my daughter to tell me more about the game and how it works and how people get pregnant and she said by sexing. I asked her if they were touching and she said that the friend touched her privates. I asked if she wanted to tell me more and she said they played a touching game and the friend touched her arm pits and privates, including under her underwear and had my daughter touch her back as well as having them lay on top of each other. My daughter said she told the friend she didn’t want to play this game and that it happened one other time the friend made her keep it a secret. I stayed very calm and reassured her that she wasn’t in trouble and I wasn’t upset with her but, I’m not sure what the next step is here. I’ve contacted the other mother and after talking to her child she found out that a boy in their neighborhood has been touching her. I feel this went beyond innocent curiosity on the friends part but I’m not sure my daughter understands what happened. I’m not sure what the best way to move forward from here is, we’ve had plenty of talks about appropriate touching and private areas but it wasn’t enough to stop this. I’m heartbroken and don’t know what my next step is. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2uNTToS
