You posted this message last week Friday. Has he exhibited the same type of inappropriate behavior since and or before this?
While reading what you shared regarding your son, it didn't come as any surprise to me. Adolescence now days are exposed to so many things at home and or in their environment. We like to believe that they all know the difference between right and wrong no matter what provoked him or her to behave the way they do. But keeping in mind, too, that being adolescence is one of the stages we have all gone through in life. Some of us fared better than others.
By no means, should his actions be kept quiet. It should be discussed with him. Who does he have a closer relationship with: you or his father? My point is if he feels that he can relate better to one of you more, than whoever he feels closer to should be the one to discuss it with him first: just another direction to take.
Sure, both parents should be involved but reality isn't like that. This isn't the Brady Bunch or the Huxtables.
You mentioned the word (freak) that caught my attention. It's how you approach him and your own behaviors that can very well make him feel like a freak, and that is the last thing you and your husband want to do. And it may very well be an isolated incident too but it must be dealt with.
Depending in what state you live there are hotlines that you can contact and ask for advice. And in case you plan to get outside help
family therapist and or counseling I assure you that everything will be kept confidential. Also, if you decide to do therapy "family therapy" is better. This way you can all be involved in the process. Contact the nearest social agency/and or the non-profit organizations: you'd be surprise at the referrals you'll get/and some are free.
Last but not least, I'm sure you're hoping that you’re just overreacting. Well, maybe, maybe not, but at least you're reacting. Denial is such a waste of time. Don't focus on blaming yourself, you're not clairvoyant. One step at a time.
Good Luck.
