I mean, this is one of those things that happens if you leave very young children completely unsupervised. It’s not all that uncommon in poorly run daycares.
I don’t know if calling an 11 year old a rapist makes a lot of sense. Kids don’t know what they’re doing at that age, and they will do weird shit if you don’t stop them.
EDIT: Downvote me all you want, I never said it was normal or okay, just that it happens under poor supervision.
11 and 6 is quite problematic, but if we are to expect that children this young are too immature to consent, it is insane to hold them to the same adult standard when they exhibit sexual misconduct.
All too often it’s also kids repeating what they know, because they’ve been exposed to it, or experienced it themselves. It’s a fairly common sign of abuse.
The eternal optimist in me hopes that this is their way to get him into some form of therapy treatment. The cynic in me thinks that the frequency of that happening, however, is extremely low.
Damn straight. When kids know about sex, they are less likely to explore sexuality with other kids, and adults have a much harder time grooming them. Kids are entitled to know about their bodies and the nature of their own existence, and generally they take it fine. Pretty normal in places that aren’t America to treat it as common knowledge.

Charging a preteen with rape is insane.

Double the reason not to charge an 11 year old with rape…

This is actually true. I know it happens. This is why sex ed should be taught as young as five.

Sometimes after school, parents can’t get the children immediately, so they have to be kept together. It could happen then.
Come back when you have a good faith response.
