should i be concerned?

Question

I walked in the room one day and he was you know masturbating and he grabbed the remote and shut off the T.V really fast! So i said what are you doing he said nothing and ran upstairs, but what really upsets me is when i turned the T.V. back on Barney the little kid show was on and it had me stumped! Is he pleasuring himself to little kids on the show or the friendly dinosuar himself I just dont know is there any advice for a concerned parent???

Answer 1

of course you have to be CONCERNED!!
are you sure he did not quickly change channels or was not watching a DVD or something?

if you are sure, then something is wrong with him and you need to take action now.

First of all you need to talk to him and be his friend. You need to find out why he was doing that and then determine what kind of help he needs. If he does not open up to you, then you have no choice but to take him to a professional psychiatrist.

Masturbation is normal, you and him need to understand that but watching barney!! this is beyond weird and you need to find out why and correct his behavior before it spirals out of control and you end up with a freak.
