She was laying next to me while I was scrolling through Facebook when I scrolled past a picture that was drawn by a child. Although it was innocent; it was supposed to be a drawing of washing your hands, it resembled hands near a penis. Well, my 5 year old, to my knowledge, hasn't been introduced to the idea of boys and girls having "different privates" until recently. But we haven't shown her any pictures or otherwise of the differences.

Anyway when she saw the picture she immediately said that it was gross because it looked like a boys private. I immediately started asking her questions about what she meant. I even lied a little bit saying I didn't know what a boys private looked like and she said her older cousin K(aged 9), his brother Y (age 5) and her younger cousin D(age 4) all showed her theirs and she had to show them hers. And that D & K showed her a 'book about naked people' on another time. She wouldn't go further and essentially shut down and kept changing the subject when I questioned her further.

I felt like I was doing a good job by explaining that her privates are hers and hers only. And letting her know that if she feels uncomfortable or if someone shows theirs to her or makes her do something she doesn't want to that I'll be there to protect her. But this is so scary to me that something could have happened and I wasn't able to prevent it. Should I keep asking her and then what do I do afterwards if something did happen. She barely gets to see that side of her family due to custody agreement between her father and I, and I want her to be able to go over there to see her family members, but I don't want her around those predators. Could they even be considered predators since they're so young?
