A question for PH parents?
Discussion
I wouldn't normally post something like this on PH but SWMBO has just came home from work (As a reception teacher) and told me something rather disturbing. I shall leave the detail but is it normal for a parent to ask their child on return from school if anyone has touched their <Insert childish name for lady parts> today? Then to discuss the results of this quiz with close friends.
I would have thought entirely normal if for some reason the parent has suspicions, why on earth wouldn't they? Probably sounding things out before either dropping the issue as unfounded, or moving on to speak to the head.
How does your other half know that this has occurred though? something like this should be kept quite by all concerned, but that's obviously not the case, now that's worrying, whether there's anything going on or not. Whispers like that have swift legs.

Thats a tiny bit alarming no?
The only thing I can offer by comparison is one of our girls was displaying some strange behaviour regarding her own person - getting into strange positions and then talking about taking photos...
Unfortunately the only thing we can imagine it will be is the father having either been caught out entertaining one of his 'friends' - or the kids saw something on his PC that perhaps should have been censored.
Funnily enough, they arent allowed to use the PC round his house at all anymore...

The parent has told my OH that the question is 'asked regularly' because she got a response she didn't want and reported it. It could be a total non-issue as these things can be with 5 year olds. But the odd thing was that when the whole issue was reported by the polite rational parent she took a friend who was being aggressive and wanted to hang someone (I am certain anyone would have done).

Does seem a little odd unless the parent has heard something about a teacher.
Seems to be something she has asked for a couple of years, I am thinking history of abuse in her family. Still a sad situation though that nobody is trusted with her child. Chris_w666 said:

if this is the case it's the parent who needs help, she needs to address her own issues and seek professional help as this may cause the child to have issues if she's not careful.sounds very odd and rather sad.
