You do realize all those things you listed are things that any responsible adult would shield a 5 year old from, right? The only way a 5 year old is exposed to any of those things is either willful perversion of an adult or a failure to shield them from things they should not be exposed to. But even that is besides the point.

Absolutely. Someone dropped the ball. But someone failing to shield them is completely different than:

Some sick bastard showed one or both of these kids how to do this.

Yes. And a more horrific option would be that an adult pedophile physically showed them how to do it, which was implied over and over.

Other options would be that they were poorly supervised, and learned via other means. Ultimately, still sad and whoever did not supervise them should be punished. But comparing that to willfully being shown how to perform by a pedophile? Come on.

Well we (thankfully) don't know the details of exactly what they were doing in the bathroom. If they were just "going through the motions", chances are one or both of them had, as you said, seen something they should not like walking in on mom & dad for example. But if they were actually having intercourse I'd say chances are someone had to actually show them how to do it.

It's very common for kids who are molested to in turn carry out sexual acts on other kids. This is especially true with younger victims who stand a good chance of not even realizing that what they are doing (and is being done to them)is wrong. It's common for them to mistakenly think it's a "game" that feels good because that's what their abuser told them. This is another reason why many people who hear stories about these two kids immediately think one or both have been abused.
