depends on his age..............
Address the issue with his parents and let your daughter know she did REALLY well telling you about this and maybe she will come at once and tell you next time so the matter can be addressed as it happens [almost]
And to be honest after working a great deal with mentally challenged people / young adults they are MORE than aware that what they have said or done [read grabbed] is NOT right or acceptable
As a small note please be very grateful it was just words.

1. At this point, your daughter should not be alone with this cousin. Ever.
2. If you want to talk to your cousin, remember that he may not understand social norms wich are quite obvious to you and to many other people. Explain to him that items of that nature are not appropriate conversation topics. You may need to explain this to him multiple times (although not all at once, if you spread them out over time you will have better results). Again, this is why its so important that your daughter not be left alone with him. Someone should always be there to maintain appropriate conversation and prevent anything bad from happening.

Supervise all contact with the cousin. Speak to the guardian or parent of the cousin about what was said...try not to judge as the cousin may or may not know those actions were inappropriate.

talk to the parents of the person first, then teach your daughter about the slow person and how to watch out for herself, also keep a close eye and ear open when you know that the slow person will be around.

Talk to his parents. They must keep him under better control. If he is an adult, you will have to find a way to stop him. Don't allow him to come near your daughter or other children. He may be a sexual predator.

substitute docs!! apparently you decide on something to happen too. I dont be attentive to your loved ones subject whether it feels like happening that lane would be stepping on skinny ice.. additionally if he's doing this so freely with you the way do you be attentive to he hasn't completed this till now with somebody else and could do it back with some once you?

Write a letter to the parents being calm but specific. Tell them that this will not happen again or you will have to report it. You need to protect your child first and formost.
