FACT: abused children act out

FACT: non abused children commonly sexually experient with kids about their own age

FACT: the second group is much, much larger than the first group

FACT: overreacting to children's sexual exploration is a terrible response

FACT: even in instances of actual abuse, overreacting is very unhealthy for the child abused

Each matter comes down to rationally and without prejudice finding out what really happened, and then finding out whether any actual abuse is taking place. Once actual abuse is determined, then is the time to deal with the effects of such abuse.

Sexual play by children is more likely to be natural exploration than to be the result of abuse.
