since your nephew came to you he obviously has a confort zone with you. this also indicates he trust you. telling his parents would void that trust.

this is a hard one, if my son went to his uncle on advise for this i wouldnt have a problem at all, if it helps my son, my son is nine and found out about sex at school so i have discussed the basics with him and purchased a book for kids to help him, i think you should tell his parents but discuss this with your nephew first

not close enough

((( Miguel ))))From a Moms point of view,, My kids and I have been very open when it comes to Sex,,, Although I may not have liked it but I knew at one point in thier lives it would happen,,

So we all sat down and discussed the safety factors of protection and the When... If i had my choice they all would have waited until they were married,, lol,, Ya I know...

We talked about all the birth control out there for men and women and once again repeated the safety factor,, of contacting a disease,,, All you can do is guide,, advise and just be you,, you are so open and honest,, he loves you and has found his calm when he is with you and trusts you 100%... Hugs sweetie,, Just tell him Like it is,,,

Love you

love ya too ((((((mommy))))))))

I hope he realizes how lucky he is that you care enough for this to concern you. Answer his questions honestly...please don't tell him he was found in a cabbage patch or will go blind if he does certain things. ;) Also, give age and situation appropriate facts. And once this happens, you realize he's going to confide in you about ALOT. Are you ready for that?

as far as "vilating his trust" byu going to his parents, you need to do just that, if you are going to talk with him. In most places, if the parent gets upset for you talking to their child (even a relation) without their permission, they can come aftewr you with the courts backing them up.

I am not saying neccesarily that that would be right, but it can and does happen. So I suggest you go to his parents and tell them about it, and come up with asolution between the four of you to where you can be available for any questions that you nephew does not want to discuss with his parents. And on a side note, by including yhour nephew inthis duscussinon with his parents you are showing him that you value his respect and the fact that he trusts you, and you want to do what is best for him, without getting anyone in trouble.
