It's cute that so many of you think that small children are incapable of sexual acts and abuse.

But um...lots of little kids know more than you might think. For one thing, if they watch ANY tv, they probably know that boys and girls do "things" together sometimes, and that certain areas on girls or boys are considered "off limits" without permission. Many children grow up with TVs in their homes these days, and many parents use it as a tool to entertain their kids when they're too busy to. I wouldn't doubt that these children at least knew that touching the girl/boy there was not "allowed."
On the same line of thought, I'm sure more than one child has stumbled upon pictures, porn, late night "softcore" television, or things of a similar nature and become curious. Which could lead to touching people inappropriately at school the next day.

I mean, maybe I'm the only one, but I remember knowing that "touching myself down there" felt good from a very young age. Even in Kindergarten. I must have been 4 or 5. I was curious, and I'm not quite sure where I learned this, but I did know that boys' "private parts" and girls' "private parts" went together.
Also, I remember one of my friends telling me that her mother told her that if she had any "white stuff" on her "private areas" that meant she was going to hell. Obviously, if parents are telling their children this in first grade or younger, some of them are going to get curious.

And I haven't even mentioned anything about sexual harrasment or abuse in the home. Unfortunately, it happens in quite a few homes. Uncles, cousins, parents, step-parents, friends of parents....all of them have been known to take advantage of small children and most of the time, the children won't tell anyone (even other members of the family) out of embarressment or confusion. If something like this happens, a child DEFINATELY knows what those parts do and might impose the same behaviors on other kids of their age.
Seeing parents engage in sexual acts could create the same reaction.

Sorry, but kids are easily influenced, curious and not the angels some of you think they are.
I know we like to think that their adorable faces could do no evil, but if little kids can kill people, hurt people, manipulate and lie to people...what makes you think that they can't do something like this?
It's not like the nerves in those parts of their body just sprout out of nowhere one day. Some kids just gain awareness of it at a different age than others, for whatever reason.
