My 9 year old son is acting inappropriate when he's with females. He tried to pull his 12 year old sister's pants down, and his sister complains about him trying to go under her shirt/dress/outfit/swimsuit and trying to touch her boobs. I'm worried about his behavior at school, the teachers are on strike so school won't start, but he's going to grade 4. In third grade, he started imitating adults kissing and calling girls names like "honey" "sweetie" "baby cakes". He's learned words like sex and period and vag*na and I have no idea where he learned them from. I've always blocked channels that are inappropriate for kids under 18 on TV and I supervise them on the computer. He also likes to try to guess his sister's Facebook password and try to say something to his sister's friends. Last week, my daughter freaked out when she saw his brother lying down on the bed and trying to pretend having sex with his younger cousin. Is there any advice!?! I've grounded him, but he won't stop this behavior no matter what.

My first impression is that he's mimicking behaviour. Has he been abused?
If not, then its time for serious intervention. Not grounding...
He needs to understand the difference between appropriate and inappropriate behaviour, how to determine boundaries, and how to stick with them. You need to start him on 'the talk'.
(by the way, vagina isn't profanity, its an anatomical name...) You also need to make sure that YOU are comfortable with the topic. The more uncomfortable you are the less effect the talk is going to be.
