Sibling sexual behaviour can be difficult to understand and assess Many children do not recognise or understand the harm they have experienced until they are older and know more about sex and relationships If you’re a parent or carer if you have concerns about sibling sexual behaviour it is important that you acknowledge your own feelings. Gender is certainly a factor—the most common sibling sexual abuse scenario is an older brother and a younger sister—but sibling sexual abuse can occur with any combination of sibling genders. Richard finlayson, 21, and his younger sister kirsty, 18, both pictured, were caught having intercourse at motherwell station in lanarkshire on june 27 last year. When i was around six, my older brother (who was around nine or 10 at the time) used to get me to play a game called ‘naughty exercises’ with him.
