SUBJECT: 8 year old son curious
I have an 8 year old boy that I have caught a few times with one of his boy friends. The first time I talked to him and told him he should not touch others and he should not let others touch him. He explained to me that is was a game that the other child learned from an older male cousin and it was called the baby game. My son's 7 year old cousin also told my sister that they tried it with him. I talked to my friend about what was going on so she could talk to her son and the other child. Well last night I walked in my sons bedroom to find him and his friend under the covers when I asked them what they were doing they said nothing with a guilty look. I proceeded to pull the covers back and found my son had his boxers half off and an erection and the other child had his boxers on. I told the other child to get his clothes back on and go down stairs where his mother was. I asked my son what was going on and then found some ripped up paper that said "the baby game for ever and ever have sex sex sex". I am total freaked out at this point and told my son I would be back to talk to him. I called to my friend to come up and I showed her the paper and told her what I saw and asked if she talked to her son the last time and she had not. She then went to talk to him and I to my son. I asked him what he knew about sex and he said he saw his dad watching it on tv and that the other child told him about the baby game. I am still unclear about what this game is. I am just so upset I don't know how to approach this. My friend came back up to talk to me and said that my son had put his penis in her sons behind one other time but it didn't happen this time. I am totally thinking this is past the experimental stage and going over the line. My son has ADHD and we go to family counciling. Should I bring this up to the Dr.? Is there any books out there to read to my son?

I also taked to my husband about what our son saw him watching on tv and he assured me that those channels are blocked. We also decided that he is not allowed on the internet and we are monitoring his video games and tv programs.

At this point we don't want our son having any friend spend the night. I told him this has happened twice that we know of and we can't trust him.

Please if anyone has any advise I would appreciate it.
