I verified my acct just to tell
FYL, kids suck
I verified my acct just to tell
At 6 yrs old he's already been watching or listening to something he shouldn't be. I'd start questioning the parents. This boy should be playing with Tonka trucks and G.I Joe dolls... not asking about seeing boobies and showing his penis. somethings wrong with this picture.
The only thing wrong with this picture is 1) the fact no one told him that while the urges are perfectly normal, the behavior he's using to express them is inappropriate the way he's doing it, and 2) the fact you have NO knowledge whatsoever of human psyche. FYI, the boy is 100% normal to feel the way he feels, he's just badly mannered when it comes to expressing it. Have you ever heard anything about psychology?
My previous comment didn't take into account the childs age, I thought he was younger. None the less, it's still not a sexual thing really, he's far too young to think of women as anything but icky really. Not like he's gone through puberty. He does need to be taught not to do that though.
no no 6 year old kids can think of women sexually, I used to babysit a six year old and he was out of control. he would always do stuff like this. that's why I no longer watch him.
That mentality is what's wrong with the American society. Having sex all over the media but then teaching the children it's icky. That's how you end up raising a teenage mother. Sex is icky but their idols do it, so they can't talk to the parents but want to do it anyway.
I was always chasing girls around on the playground cuz I wanted to kiss them when I was 6 also I had a pretty good idea of what sex was cuz I hung out with kids who told me about it so kids that age can be sexually attracted to the opposite sex it's a natural part of our base instincts
WTF? I wrote more than that.

get real 38. way to blame others and relinquish your parenting duties. stick to microorganisms. are you the one that sued mcdonalds for spilling coffee on yourself?
You know, I hate it when folks bring up the McDonald's lawsuit. I had to study that case in a business ethics class, so I know it inside and out. While the victim of the coffee spill WAS dumb for holding coffee between her knees (and the jury conceded that fact), damages were awarded to her because McDonald's had been cited numerous times for safety violations by the health inspector because that coffee pot was malfunctioning and superheating the coffee to just a skoche above boiling. Anyone that drinks coffee has at one time or another splashed hot coffee on themselves, and while it hurts, and may even leave a mark, it doesn't require skin grafts, like the lady in the lawsuit did. The jury found in her favor because of the flagrant violations McDonald's was responsible for, and because it was a reasonable deduction that the same outcome would have occurred had the coffee touched her lips or splashed on her hand. McDonald's knowingly and willfully ignored numerous orders from the health department and someone got hurt because of it. If people want to bring up a dumb lawsuit that should have been thrown out, look up the guy that was allergic to peanuts who sued Planter's for not putting a warning label ON A PEANUTS CAN that stated *warning may contain peanuts or peanut byproducts*. THAT was a frivolous lawsuit. And as to the kid, sexualization is occurring younger and younger these days, for a plethora of different reasons (most of them bad, sadly). I would tell the parents that you are no longer babysitting, tell them why, and have an adult witness (such as your parent) present when you do so.
Or the person who drank from the wrong side of a Starbucks cup and tried to blame them for not having directions on their merchandise. That was ridiculous!
What about the parents that blamed the cookie monster for child obesity?
Hexefrau/#109 what a pity, what a terrible pity. I was reading your post and rejoicing that for once there was someone with a functioning brain posting here, until you reached the end and spouted off complete idiocy. Take a look at the older psychoanalysis studies, you'll see it's not modern society. It's normal for kids to have those urges. The problem is that modern society has no idea how to deal with that (not that the previous generations did much better), and instead flips out about it completely. (Usually blaming others around the kid for 'corrupting mommy's little angel', and going into paranoia mode, instead of using common sense and trying to explain to the kid that it's not appropriate to behave that way etc.)
Moemoemoe- When I discuss the early sexualization of kids, I am not referring to normal biological impulses that most normal, functioning humans possess. I am referring to kids being bombarded with imagery they don't understand, parents that are asleep at the wheel (so to speak), and in our modern society, an overall bizarre blend of puritanism and a cavalier attitude towards sex being aimed at kids. Tell me it *isn't* bad that our society confuses the shit out of and over-medicates our children? Tell me it isn't bad to let a 6 year old watch something like...Family Guy or Hung (I know parents that let their kids watch those shows and Dexter, things of that nature), but never discuss sex or biology with them? Me personally, I ensured that my 2 sons knew the names for all of their body parts by age 4, were told that masturbation is a natural thing but should be done in their own private space (their bedrooms), knew that adults should not be touching them inappropriately (afterall, how can they protect themselves from predators if they know nothing about their own bodies), and knew how children were conceived and born. I was also labeled some kind of weirdo and deviant when my youngest son corrected his kindergarten teacher who kept referring to the penis as a "heehaw" during "stranger danger" orientations. Perhaps I didn't offer enough clarity. Sadly, too, as someone who possesses a B.S. in criminal justice, I know that crimes against children if not on the rise are at least being reported more frequently. I also know the shitty parental attitude of "not my baby" is prevalent, and would hate to see an presumably innocent 16 year old labeled a deviant or sex offender because the 6 year old in question makes an offhand remark, hence my advice for the OP to leave the job and to have a parent or adult present when she explains it to the kid's parents. If you had read further down to post #111, you'd have seen where I covered normal sexual impulses. I put it here for you to read below. "Good parents teach their kids the scientific names for their body parts. Good parents would also tell a six year old that they don't wave their penis around in front of company, and that if they want to examine/play with it when it is "on again", that they do so in the privacy of their own space, such as a bedroom."
