I have a stepson who has a sexual obcession to the point i have to keep him seperated from our little girls, he is ten and has cerebral palsy and hydrocephelis, he has a shunt and is normal to the eye. Just recently we became concerned that his mentality was not where it should be and then the masturbating incidents happened. He has been masturbating lately atleast ten times a day. Sometimes at school, in the bathroom , at his desk. One time even standing in the corner. He has been exposed to a naked woman at the age of 8. So when he does these things he said he thinks of her. He has no remorse, we have told him how this is not ok, it quickly got worse...he was caught touching his sister on the bottom and was in major trouble...we explained to him rape and the different things that are unacceptable...about a week later it got worse, luckily we took immediate action when we noticed the masturbating and already had him in our eyesight at all times. He still shows no remorse. I do not know what to do or think about all of this. It is such a hard situation because we feel as though we are subjecting the other kids to danger but what do we do with him. Right now we are waiting response from local DHR...but is this something that will ever be fixed? Its like he lives in the now. as far as everything, school work and everything. He doesnt even wipe himself if we arent standing there making him. If we turn our heads for one second he will do whatever he wants.
Hi he sounds as if he has discovered a thing he like's , i think it's just a stage that he is going through , he is only 10 bless him , Just carry on what you are doing , By keeping an watchful eye on him , Please take care , x
Hello,
even though, as the previous poster said this is a normal stage your stepson has reached, given the conditions he has, things might not be as easy as 'keeping an eye on him'. If it's happening at school, too and it's also clear that talk didn't do much to change his behavior, I'd advise you and your husband to talk to school counselor. They very likely had experiences with situations like yours and perhaps it would be easier for you to handle the whole situation if you at least had some assurance that situation in school is under control.
As far as the overall situation - whether he'll learn more self- control, the answer is yes. However, I can't say how easy or hard will that process be without knowing more details about how his development went up until this point,
wish you all the best
Ok I know Im young and all,but my best suggestion is to take him to a psychiatric facility and have him checked out .Like seriously,Id be worried to if he has a sister and he continues to do it .
And at least you know his sexuality to....
