It's hard to believe this as a real story. Dogs don't have the cognitive ability to commit such a heinous act in the way the statement implies. It's probably a made - up, inappropriate story.
For the son to recover, it's crucial that he has access to proper mental health resources. He might need to be in a therapeutic environment where he can gradually face and come to terms with what happened. Community support can also play a role. For example, if there are support groups for children who have witnessed trauma, he could join. The support group can make him feel less alone and provide him with strategies for coping. School or educational institutions can also be involved. Teachers can be made aware of his situation and provide additional support and accommodations to help him focus on his studies and growth rather than the trauma.
It is never ethical to share such a story. It involves an extremely serious and immoral act, and sharing it is a form of violating the victim's privacy and dignity all over again. This kind of story should be left to the proper authorities to handle in a sensitive and respectful way for the victim.
First, it's important to have an open and honest conversation with your son. Let him know that such stories are not appropriate for his age. Explain the values of respect and healthy relationships.
Teach him about empathy. Let him understand how others feel and how important it is to consider the feelings of a potential partner. You can use examples from books or movies (appropriate ones, of course) that illustrate healthy relationships based on mutual understanding, trust, and shared values.
First, stay calm. Have an open and honest conversation with him about appropriate reading materials. Explain the inappropriateness of such content at his age. You could also limit his access to unfiltered media sources and encourage him to read more positive and educational books.
Well, the son is likely to be extremely traumatized. He may need extensive psychological counseling to deal with what he has witnessed. The mother's actions are not only illegal but also morally wrong. She'll probably end up in prison if convicted. And this incident will not only destroy the family's reputation but also have a ripple effect on the community. People around them will be shocked and may distance themselves from the family due to the severity of the act.
