I am horrified

I am sick & horrified to find out that one of my son's friends has been trying to make my son do "it" when they get together for play dates.  They are children....babies still...at least my son is...

My son tells me that this boy didn't get in him, but that he is always trying to make him do "it", but he tells him over & over "NO!"  My son said that this boy told him that he does "it" with all of his friends.

I am thankful that I have talked with my children about what bad touch is & that they have the right to say "no". That their bodies belong to them & no one is aloud to make them do stuff. And, I am proud that my son had the courage to come & tell me while this boy was here...so proud.

I talked with this boy about what he's tried to make my son do, that their bodies may make them feel like they are ready to try something, but that their brains & emotions are not ready to handle what comes with this "act". I also warned him that there are parents that will call the police & have him arrested because it is against the law to force yourself on someone. I told him I would not have him over to the house anymore & took him home.

I didn't tell his parents & that's what sickens me & I feel like I failed my son. I didn't keep him safe. This happened in my own home & most likely at his house as well & I am just finding out about it. Did I miss signs? My son is very intelligent, but very immature. This seems like it's not a big deal to him. I feel like I need to impress on my children, more, the severity of this situation. But right now I want him to know how proud I am that he did the "right thing" in telling me about it right away.

I am hurt & angry, proud & afraid. I want to throw this under the rug & not say a word & I want to shout it out to everyone to open your eyes & minds to what others....& ourselves...are capable of...right under our own noses.
