These boys can't even produce sperm to impregnate someone.
Yes, kids touch each other in sexual ways far before they are able to conceive of them being sexual--it's called "playing doctor"--but they rarely go this far. Usually when a child perpetrates this level of sexual contact with another child it's because they've seen the behavior somewhere else--frequently through abuse. That's what worries me here. There is no way 8-9 year old boys really know what the mechanics of sex are unless someone has shown them, or given them access to materials they shouldn't have access to. Somewhere in this situation there is a teenager or adult who is ultimately responsible. Little boys don't rape girls without somehow getting the idea into their heads, and I want to know where that came from. These boys could be victims too.
