Of course, removing the child from your home will keep other children children safe, but it is also in the best interest of the perpetrating child. He cannot heal from his own issues that make him want to sexually act out if there is constant temptation (a younger child). It's great to hear that his is now in a home with no other children, where he will not be hurting anyone else, and consequently himself. Hopefully his next home will not have any younger children, and he can have some time and help to heal from whatever happened to him.

Kudos to your son for being brave enough to come tell you about it right away. If your state has a victim witness protection program, you might be able to get your son some therapy through that program.

I'm so sorry that you have had to live through this nightmare. You are in my heart.
