Any experience in sexually abused children?
I am wanting to get ideas on how to control certain behaviors of our new fs. He is 5 yo and acts out sexually. He pulls his privates out of his pants to show, he tells people to 'lick his weiner', and he has tried to convince another child in another foster home to let them touch their privates. I know some of you had to have had experience with this....We are not sure exactly what has happened to him but the SW is also convinced that he has been abused.
He has a little sister and we have bio children in the home and really want to nip it in the bud before anything could possibly happen.
We have know general rules to lay down, not in room alone with anyone, doors open, always in sight, etc. Some help with what we should say etc when he does these things. He is in therapy and are looking into additional therapy with a sexual abuse therapist.
Any help from experienced foster parents is much appreciated!
