He is 14 yo, and we just found out from a neice (5yo) that she came into a room where he was alone, he had his pants unzipped and he told her to touch his "butt". He doesn't know yet that we are aware of this. I want to do some research and make sure we are handling this in a way that will prevent it from happening again and also make him be accountable for what happened. I don't want to make things worse by making him feel like he is a freak, but I know that he has to understand that this is totally unacceptable and he could go to jail for it. He is supervised almost all the time. We do a lot of things together as a family, but he also has a few friends that we know and trust the entire family and allow him to go with them, as well as having the friend over to our house often. We have had no major behavioral problems from him and he seems happy. He does try to intimidate his younger brothers sometimes but I don't think it is to the point of being a real problem. I don't want to sweep this under the rug. We need to address it, but to what extent? Is this a warning sign that he has major problems? Could it be a lapse in judgement that comes with being 14? How do we proceed? Will he be able to overcome this without counseling, if we handle it correctly? What kind of counseling would he need? Can I depend on a counselor not to report this and end up with my child in jail? I have no clue how all this works. I deeply appreciate any input.
