Help!! Im not sure what to do!! My 5 Year old told me his new friend was touching him with his pants down.

At school today, My 5 year old and his new friend where in the bathroom, unsupervised. My son says, his friend and him where showing eachother their penis'. My son also stated that his friend wanted to kiss my sons butt cheeks. Thats not all, this friend also tried to touch his anus. My son knows better. I think there might be some curiosity here. But Im unsure how this will affect my son. Is this normal? My son has never, ever made up a story like this before. Im not sure if he is telling the truth or not. a few minutes after he told this to me, he claimed he was tricking me. Here is a little bit of back story on the situation. My 5 year old is in his 2nd week of kindergarten. I know he is eager to make friends. He is an only child. Today, he was given permission to go to the bathroom after lunch. He never returned to class. He was MIA, for over 30 min in the bathroom. None of his teachers noticed he never came back to class. It wasnt untill I was there to pick him, that they realized he wasnt in the class. Neither was his new friend. After about 15 min of searching, his friend came out of the bathroom. Then a few minutes later, my son came out. My son claims they were both on the toilet, in separate stalls. But then he shares all of these other details. So I really have no idea what went on in that bathroom. I have no info on this boy, I know nothing of him. I dont want to make my son feel guilty. But i need to get to the bottom of what happened in the bathroom. If this boy has seen things, or been exposed to things my son hasnt. Im not sure how this incident will affect him. i dont want this to be come an ongoing issue. Please help with any advice possible. I can reply with more info if needed.

Hi!  First, I would ask the teachers why they did not know your son and his friend were missing from class!  That is scary!

I have heard of things like this happening before.  Your son is most likely telling the truth, but may have said 'just kidding' because of your reaction?

I am certainly no expert, but it sounds like you are doing things right.  Don't get him in trouble for what happened, but explain to him that he is not to disappear from class without anyone knowing where he is.... (he is 5?  Should he not be supervised to the bathroom? ) and that NO body is allowed to touch him.

It was probably harmless.  He felt comfortable telling you want happened so I take this as an innocent incedent.  

I would take with the teachers and maybe find out a little more about your sons new friend.

HI,
I asked that same question to the teacher. She had no explanation. Which is inexcusable! I met with the school principal today, and they are going to notify the little boys mother.
