It is not in reference to children who are not toilet trained and it is not in reference to all children.

In regards to the masturbation it is also in reference to children who masturbate excessivley (ie in front of other people, continue to do so after redirection, try to coerce other children to join in). This is often another sign of possible sexual abuse. Child psychologists and other experts have outlined normal sexual development of children as a guideline and any differences in sexual development for a child's age may need to be looked at further.


It sounds like Hespera has been reading the manual or has she or he been trained by it?
The Plot thickens!! but I have to agree what Cathy said in her other post as we all know her brother is a Lawyer (She keeps telling us all).
Parents today are generally concerned if a child starts wetting its pants or bed and taking their child to seek medical help or advice as all the programmed Zealots come out of the wood work thinking of only the one thing.
