Pedophile 8 year old what to do!?

I need help with my 8 year old cousin, he is a little beeyotch if you ask me and I cant stand him but I knew there was something wrong with him when he was just 2. Since then when he was 5 he got another boy to pull pants down with him and look at his stuff, within this year he got the neighbor boy to do the same thing and now he is no longer allowed over there, right before christmas he did the same thing to my 6 year old cousin. he never actually gets his thing in their "buttcheeks" cause he is always caught in the act before that. I continue to fight with my grandparents, cause they are the ones raising him, they say he is just being a boy and he doesnt know any better, that lil bastard is 8 he knows what the hell he is doing. I believe he needs professional help before he actually goes all the way and destroys another boy for life. What would ya'll do to the little bastard or devil child in this case! And for you people who are gonna say its probably because im mean to him, i never say any of these things towards him because he is only eight, ill do all that when he turns 18!

Update:

thanks for everyone who gave me real help, his father is my uncle and his mother abandoned him and his two sisters when they were babies, and i dont believe hes been molested, i just think he needs to be put into a psych ward for the rest of his life.

    you are right, this is not normal behaviour and professional help should be used to discover why it is happening. There may be some psychological reason for it.

  • He does need professional help, not trying to be funny. No normal 8 year old does things like that. They might be curious and wanna look, but they don't go that far. Especially doing it that many times. He may have been messed with when he was younger. Because most people that do things like that, especially little kids, have been molested or messed with in some other way. He needs to be checked out before it escalates to something worse. Or maybe he's seen it or heard it somewhere, because an 8 year old doesn't do something like that without picking it up from somewhere else. I know a guy that was messed with and began doing things like that and when he was 17 he raped a little boy. His grandparents arent taking it serious enough and they should.

    Most states recognize that a person knows and understands the difference between right and wrong by age 7. Your cousin has passed that age. I believe he has been the victim of a pedophile. He needs to see a psychologist to arrest this obsession. This is not normal behavior. He needs help before the legal system and the courts become involved. You need to convince your grandparents of the seriousness of this situation. The police could get involved and hold your grandparents liable. Most large police departments have a Youth Division who would have someone to direct you in helping your cousin.

    Children that exhibit that kind of behavior have often been molested themselves. I would suggest making a call to child services and discussing what has gone on. They will interview him and hopefully get to the bottom of it before he hurts someone. Hopefully the person that took advantage of your cousin gets caught and your cousin gets the obvious help he needs.

    Something needs to be done, fighting with your grandparents is obviously not doing anything. Let the professionals help.

    Holy cow - this kid needs professional help - If your grandparents are not going to do the responsible thing and help this child out (and those of his innocent victims) then you will need to step in. You didn't say how old you are so I am not sure if you are still at school but I would definitely speak to a teacher or a principal or a councilor either at your school or at his. If this is not addressed, then it will turn into something nasty.

    I applaud you for taking this step and it is a pity that his grandparents aren't as mature as you when it comes to this child. A child at 8 should be able to know that what he is doing is wrong !!!

    He must a have been or being raped/molested. No eighth year old knows about anal sex most ten-twelve year olds now about that kinda stuff. Before you judge the child it self have you meet his parents? Maybe they are just as creepy as him. Child start off as gentle and loving creatures something even the littlest thing can set them on the wrong path. Maybe you should do a little light investigating. In the mean while don't let your cousin around him - you don't want him to end up the same.

    i think this kid does need some professional help before he does ruin some other little boy. When my husband was a child he had a boy a couple of years older than him and he was the victim in the case of the other boy violating him and making him have to live with that experience for the rest of his life. the other boy got away with it because he was just "experimenting".

    Call child protective services, and try convincing the parents of the other children to complain, it's not likely that he's just doing this to do it, it's more likely he's been or is being abused... seriously u need to call cps..

    He defiantly needs professional help! Someone needs to talk to him about why he is doing it... Good luck. ;D

    I don't know what's wrong with you, but unless someone else is doing those kids of things to him, he wouldn't know what they were. Maybe someone should call the police. . .
