I don't know if I'd say it's a clear indicator of abuse, though it's clearly possible. I remember kids "dating" as early as 1rst grade, and they made out and even fooled around.
Before entering school, parents should always remember to teach children the difference between "good touching" and "bad touching". If children don't have this lesson ingrained, they may not report abuse. They'll think they are in trouble and keep quiet. Things like "you won't be in trouble" are good to include in the conversation to help them understand that you're trying to protect them.
