If you suspect your friends child is a possible victim of sexual abuse. What do you do? Do you talk to your friend about it? ever since having them around for a playdate my 3 year old daughter has 3 times been laying on her back with her legs spread saying "look mummy, it's a big wee wee now", she has told me said child showed her this but said it's a secret. This child is also 3. The parents had an argument when she was a newborn as the father pretended to dry hump her as a joke. The wife is always complaining that the hubby is no longer interested in sex. I know that at one point he was Co sleeping with the 3 yr old while mum Co slept in another room with the baby. What should I do?

I'd contact brave hearts for advice on this one
Definitely contact someone who is qualified in this area otherwise you could get potentially dangerous advice.
Report to child services/police and see if they will investigate, if not then try talking to the mother. Please do not just watch, you could be the only one who stands up for this child.
Also what kind of person "dry humps" a baby? ðŸ˜
3-8 years old is the most common age for sexual abuse to happen.
I wouldn't even bother bringing it up with the friend, if this is happening they're not likely to confess or admit to it.
Contact cps (or your local police station can help you get in touch with the right agencies), tell them everything you know or suspect.
In the mean time, don't let your kids play unsupervised together. God only knows what poor child has experienced.
Report it. Don't tell mum expecting her to do something. She hasn't for the past 3 years. She'd have to have suspicions but is in denial and would continue to deny it and then cut you off.
