My family adopted an eleven year old boy (who resembles Dominic Scott Kay to me) and he's just gotten into 6th grade. He's sweet and smart, and definitely cool but there's one part of him that is really unusual to me. A few weeks ago he became very attracted to me; before school he would grab me and kiss me on the lips for at the most three seconds. Recently, while i was asleep, he got on top of me. I'm really freaked out about it and I don't want to tell my parents because they feel great about having a new child. I would feel like I was ruining it. I've told him countless times to quit, and i've been saying so strongly, yet he keeps going after me. Last night he came up behind me and kissed my neck. What should I do? I've tried almost everything!! Reply to this Question Share |

I agree with the rest of the advice, its not like your parents are going to 'unadopt' him, so you're not ruining anything, your concern will be more helpful in the long run.

That is one seriously disturbed child. You must talk to your parents! Imagine what he will be like when he becomes a teenager! I really hope therapy can help him. If not, he could become very dangerous as he gets older. Good luck!

By telling your parents what is going on, they can give your new brother the help he needs. By not telling them, you're risking your new brother getting into big trouble later in life and for a very uncomfortable next few years of yours.
There's no shame in being concerned about his behavior. Your parents might be unaware of what's happening here, and they'll appreciate you wanting to help him!
