[SHAMROX]

A week ago my 4 and 1/2 year old son told me his birth mom put a "cooking thing" up his butt once when he got in trouble. I had to coax him that it was ok to tell me whatever was bothering him; I certainly didn't expect to hear what he said. He also said she told him she was sorry and that if he told anyone, they would both be in really big trouble. This, coming from the person who in the visits would tell my son that I don't love him, I'm not his mother and he does not love me. Shouldn't surprise me right? It did. Then this weekend he woke up in the middle of the night crying and ended up telling me that she also used her fingers! I can't take this, what the heck?

I know she was abused as a child; is it common for a woman to sexually abuse her own son? Either way, I'm waiting to hear if the police dept is going to do anything. I don't want hm to go through an interview at the sexual assault clinic, but at the same time, anything to learn more about the truth seems good.

Has anyone experienced this? What normally happens in this kind of case? He's been back home with me for over a year now.
