Gavin + Puberty= Creepy

April 14, 2010

Puberty has struck our household in the form of Gavin. He has been let's say, "sexually aggressive" for the past year or so. He goes out of his way to touch, grab or grope. Male or female it doesn't seem to matter. He struggles with boundaries. He can be very driven to do or get whatever he may want.

So now he has these "feelings" and apparently seeks to explore them with no regard for other people. His doctors have said we have to be very careful with him because he already has no boundaries.

The latest "incident" was the other day when Lizze picked him up from school. She was talking to his teacher and Gavin went under her (Lizze's) arm and was rubbing his face all over her chest. Both Lizze and his teacher were horrified. She pushed him away and told him no. Our fear is that he will do this to someone and really get into trouble. We have discussed this with the school so they are aware. We are not leaving him alone with any of the kids for fear of what might happen. He has been caught sneaking into Elliott Richard's room to "kiss him goodnight properly". We are both really creeped out by this behavior.

His doctors have told us to pull him aside the moment it happens and lay into him about it. We tell him we know what he is doing and we will not allow this behavior. We have to embarrass him if necessary to deter this behavior because it so serious. When he gets older he will go to jail for these behaviors. We have a small window to quash this behaviors.
