OK, BOR and Charlatan, I can see where there's certainly the possibility for abuse here, and I know of historical anecdotes of that exact kind of abuse, but that doesn't necessarily mean that abuse is going on. I know you've both taken the "wait and see" stance here, and I can respect that, but I do feel the need to interject that it's entirely possible that there's absolutely nothing fishy going on here. It could be that the mom and boyfriend are modern-day hippies that believe in being "natural" and that this episode is an offshoot of that. On the flip side, it could also be that the boyfriend is angling to get the 9 year-old in the sack.
If there's no pedophilia going on here, I still don't see the problem. After all, if I can find a documentary on youtube of a 7 year-old breastfeeding in less than a second (the search, not the kid), then I don't see where there's any abuse here.
