Question by tamilynn: does this mean sexual abuse of child?
my sister’s best friend has a 7 year old daughter that was playing with another 7 year old friend (both are girls)and they were taking magic markers and playing like they had penis’, one of the girls still takes showers with her father, the other girls’ drug addict Uncle and a laborer live at her house.
Is this a sign of sexual abuse? neither girl is allowed to watch tv and are homeschooled, I don’t know that it’s just normal childhood curiosity? I’m very concerned, my neice wants to play with them and I don’t think my sister should let her go over to their houses.
Also, one of the girls mentioned sex in front of my mother and when she asked how she knew that, she said, her father is teaching her about sex.
I am very concerned and sickened by all of this.
Please no smart ass answers, this is very upsetting and serious.
as far as the homeschooled no tv comment, I don’t have any adversion to that, I was just stating that to let you know that I don’t think they learned it from tv or kids at school.

at the beginning it kind of threw me off like okay..who cares?
But i think personally…that when the kid is SEVEN and her dad is teaching her abt sex. and shes taking a shower with him. Something has to be going on.
What do you think? Answer below!
Maybe you should get social services involved ,it is normal for small children to experiment. But penetration with an object is a huge sign.
That isn’t normal. I would try and do something about it.
i think the kids just arnt very independent, and the dad has no sense of age. The homeschool thing and no tv thing isnt that weird to me because i know alot of people are raising their kids like that so when they are old they wont watch alot of tv. And the penis thing is probably just a phase. when your that age, your “private” is the most interesting thing in the world. You know more about the situation than i do. If you think something is up for sure then i would check it out.
Kids ususally explore at 4-5 years of age. Seven is a little too old. Showering together should have stopped by age 2. Please call your local child protective services and report what you know. If the mother will not protect the child, it is up the the community.
It is not for you to say whether or not something is going on. It is your responsibility to report what you know though. I wouldn’t hesitate to call someone and tell them.
It is possible that something could be going on. The best thing you can do is call child protective services and report your suspicions.
it doesn’t sound normal. you don’t teach a 7 year old about sex. what are they thinking. i would tell somebody about this it sounds to strange. i would nt let my daughter go over there.
It’s better to call Child Protective Services and be wrong than not to call and be right!
I absolutely agree with you being concerned & sickened & worried about your niece playing with them. The point you made about no tv & being home schooled is proof enough your niece’s friend is not learning any of this from the outside world & the fact that she is only 7 & her father is having showers with her & teaching her about sex is a huge worry in my book. I gather there is no mother around? Is your sister as concerned about this as you? If she is, i suggest the two of you seek advice from whatever child help group or organization you can find in your area just to clarify what a normal 7 yr old girls behavior is usually like. Be totally honest about your feelings because i think you will find this is not normal behavior. If your sister doesn’t want to do this then i think you should go alone because it is better to be safe than sorry & if anything does happen to your niece you will never forgive yourself but more than that, your niece will be scarred for life. Good Luck!
