Am I being paranoid?

Ok, Maybe I'm really overreacting, but I just have this feeling...My nephew is 5 and he plays with my son a lot. My nephew seems to be obsessed with his private parts and stuff like that, which my son is 2, basically knows nothing about that. Last night they were playing and I was sitting there and they started to wrestle, and my son had his hands around my nephews waist and pulled him to the ground. Well, when my son had his hands around my nephews waist, my nephew pulled his pants down to expose himself and told me Dominic did it, which I saw everything and Dom didn't do that. And another time I walked in the room and my nephew kept telling Dominic to lay on top of him and stuff, but Dom didn't want to, and my nephew was like making him. I just have this bad feeling my nephew is trying to do something to him or already has. He just is always touching himself and pulling his pants down alot, is that strange for a 5 year old to do? My sister thought one time another child was telling my nephew to lick her down there and stuff, and maybe something happened to him? They say it only takes one time for something like that to happen. I'm really worried, I dont want my son turning into a pervert and obsessed with his penis and touching other kids. From now on I wil not let him out of my site while playing with his cousins, im just too worried. Do you think I'm being paranoid and overprotective?

Kate I would be very concerned that someone has messed with your nephew... you need to talk to your sister about it... hopefully that's not the case but you never know. Even if no one has touched him inappropriately, I would be concerned that he might possibly have been exposed to something visually (pornography, accidentally watching his parents have sex, etc.) I don't think you're being paranoid at all. Also I've heard that victims of abuse often turn out to be abusers themselves...
JMO...
Kate,
Sexuality is a very
Kate, I don't think your being paranoid or overprotective. I would be doing the same thing. Talk to your sis and see about talking to a counselor about your nephew. I sure hope nothing has happened to him, that would be awful.
