First, I agree he's handling it very well, but
there is a small part of me that thinks - and read it all before you judge.
Forty to fifty years ago kids from late elementary thru middle school were caught "playing doctor" or "You show me yours, I'll show you mine" - it was properly stopped/corrected and talks were had, but it was also somewhat considered part of growing up - not an evil, abusive act. And yes, biology usually makes males the aggressor, but there was usually a complicit party - kids of both genders are curious. You can have all the talks you want, but at some point curiosity wins over.
The modern technological equivalent is more direct, cruder and socially unacceptable. I think that's because on average kids today grow up mentally faster than their bodies mature - they are exposed to sexual content thru all types of media much earlier now. Not making a judgement if that's right or wrong, but it is, and it makes determining the difference between what is part of normal growing up and what is abusive/evil much more difficult.
