I'm struggling to differentiate between normal childhood curiosity and sexual abuse. There are two situations: 1. A 12 year old started touching a 4 year old, and kissing her. She begged him to stop. But he went further. This happen 2x. Situation 2. A 12 year old briefly inappropriately touched a 4 year olds private area, and when requested to "stop", they did and nothing more happened. Would situation 1 be viewed as sexual assault/abuse, and situation 2 be viewed as normal childhood curiosity
