Whoa! This is what all parents who wish to be sexually open minded with their children fear most!!!! My sincere condolences!! I agree that at this point you should take him to counseling. He's going to need to have another adult who he can trust on his team if this really gets out of hand. But we must all realize and remember that the other boy could have become afraid and was traumatized by this experience. And the summer camp HAS to cover it's you-know-what. Eight is old enough to understand you, so talk with him and find out as much of the situation as possible. Tell him that you don't think he's a bad kid or a "sick-o" or anything. Private counseling with somone he can trust will be the way to go here, if he doesn't trust the first one you try keep trying until he finds one he can work with. If he can't trust his counselor you will get nowhere and might even backslide. Good luck!
