How do I prevent abuse I fear is happening but have no proof ?

That’s completely fair and understandable. It is weird behavior I just wanted you to consider if it was a gender bias or truly behavior that warranted the suspicions.

I think I read that Joseph is on your wife’s side of the family. If this is correct would the discussion of Joseph and his behavior be accepted better if it came from her? If not I say just keep your child protected and when in the same vicinity watch out for the other little ones as best you can.

Reaching out the Boy Scouts could also be a good thing since they should be unbiased and willing to protect the children at all costs. I don’t think reaching out to the police or any other agency because without proof of action there’s not much they can do.
