Kindergarder exposing himself

My 6yr.old son keeps pulling his pants down and exposing himself at school. This is the 3rd time so far this year, and the school's counsler just had to report it to CPS. When he is asked why, he say's that he thinks it's funny. I ask him why and he just lies to me about it. I'm at a loss.... He knows it's wrong and still does it. Do I need to worry that someone has been touching my son, or is this behavior just acting out???? HELP!!!

One significant indicator as to whether or not a child has a sexual behavior problem is whether or not he desists from the behavior after being told to stop it. Since he has persisted in spite of adult directing him to stop, he is likely showing that he has some kind of problem. Whether it's that he's been sexually abused or exposed to sexual overstimulation is something that you need to consider. Has anyone, even innocently, exposed to him nudity, some kind of pornography or sexual behavior. Ask him if someone has touched him, made him look at them or ask him to do that to them in a way that made him feel uncomfortable. Beyond that, it could be other issues, such as him being impulsive, difficulty with self control, harsh treatment in other ways, family violence. You need to talk to him, consider all the possibilities and consider getting him professionally evaluated by someone knowledgeable about children exhibiting sexual behavior.

this is a normal behavior for this age child he could be being egged on to do this for attention or for making friends
maybe this is his way of begging for a friend he doesnt have
ask the teacher to place him with a buddy that does not respond to this behavior and see if it helps him/her
if a new friend does not help yes talk to his MD and get him some one to talk to to get to the bottom of this
a friends 6 yr old son did this to see who could go the farthest  she was shocked and went way overboard on a typical childhood thing between boys
she just knew he had been abused and he had not it was show me yours and I will show you mine so try these things and if they dont work seek MD assistance

My nephew started doing this after he was sexually molested by Mom's boyfriend.
