6 year old boy exposing himself

Twice in the past month, I've caught my son exposing himself to girls of around the same age in our community.
The first time, I spoke with both of the children, letting them know that their private parts were to remain private and they need to show respect for themselves and one another. They were told that there would be possible social ramifications to their behaviour and that if their friends at school found out about it they would find themselves in an embarrassing situation.
Whatever... this didn't help, because another young girl came to me and let me know that my son exposed himself to her and then peed in front of her.
I lost my mind and called him a pervert. I feel terrible and ashamed and I'm worried that there's something seriously wrong with him.
What can I do?!

It sounds as though your son might have been molested. Have him talk with a child psychologist or the problem could get worse.

yes I would say someone has done something to him so ask him some pertinent questions about why he does it and do not leae him unsupervised around other children as someone will report it ..Check out who he is left alone with, family , babysitters, be aware of whats happening around him ...
