A child is supposed to have attained (1) roots; and, (2) wings...also called Individuation and Differentiation
The child could be forcibly ejected by Child Services, but I don't think that helps satisfy either condition...
The child can be nurtured and supported in breaking free (wings) but, unless the child discovers the neediness of the mother, he cannot expect roots (groundedness)
Perhaps the mother is wanting to be the child and wanting the son to be the parent...
If the child is yanked out of the bed situation without replacing it with something positive, it doesn't accomplish what was wanted for the child...
It's very effective for a child to get counseling rather than waiting until he's an adult

a baby is meant to have attained (a million) roots; and, (2) wings...called Individuation and Differentiation the newborn will be forcibly ejected through kid facilities, yet i do not imagine that helps fulfill both project... the newborn might want to be nurtured and supported in breaking loose (wings) yet, except the newborn discovers the neediness of the mum, he can't anticipate roots (groundedness) perhaps the mum is desirous to be the newborn and desiring the son to be the figure... If the newborn is yanked out of the mattress project without replacing it with some thing efficient, it would not accomplish what develop into wanted for the newborn... that is totally valuable for a baby to get counseling somewhat than waiting till he's an human being

It is not healthy for a 5th grade child to be sleeping with parents or any adult. She will not mature and go back to being a "child". Meaning she will become very dependent.

It is wrong on many levels. Kids need to learn independence. That's not even going into the sexual problems that could occur from this. that's just weird. Does the son have a choice in the matter? if not, that's REALLY weird. I see a serial killer or rapist in the making.

It should be his choice; some kids are more/less clingy than others. My brother's six and he still climbs in with mum and dad, but I ceased that behaviour when I was two and a half-ish. My sister was around three when she stopped. It's wrong of your aunt to do that to him. I'd call that psychological abuse. :)

They are in counseling until they are 55.
Then they just give up, because life is
not erasable. Some scars are forever.

It screws them up a little. My cousin slept with his mom until he was a senior in high school. He was forced to though. Anyways he is a little wacked. Nobody understands him. He's like scary murderer wacked.

Just ask him. If he says he doesn't like it, then help him to gain some independence. Get others to help, as well.
