    Yes I agree, over sexualised behaviours often do mean exposure to abuse or inappropriate things - the children that are doing this at daycare need some help incase this is happening to them. I also agree with others that you should talk to your children about what happened again. Clearly they know what they were doing was wrong because they stopped straight away when you 'caught' them. I think you need to discuss what things are appropriate with in the family as well as with other people with your kids too. ie we don't touch each other's parts or let any adult in the family touch us like that either.

    If you tell the Director, then their mandatory reporting policy should mean that they pass the info on to the relevant authorities.

    If it were me, I'd also talk to your children and reinforce personal boundaries etc, let them know (in an age-appropriate way of course) that what DS saw was not the way children should behave (sorry. brain not working... there'd be better words than that).

    I hope your chat with the Director goes well.

    the book is recomended for 3-8 year olds, so will be fine for your little one. she may ask different questions as she gets older.

    Everyone's Got A Bottom - A Storybook For Children Aged 3-8 years

    One possible issue with talking to the two little kids involved is possibly tainting their story if there is something extra going on that needs to be investigated by the police or child services. (in terms of what the kids at day care have seen/experienced)

    Hope you get some answers this week.
