We have just learnt that our 21year old nephew (who spent a few days with us over Christmas) when intoxicated with alcohol and drugs said to his Dad him and his friends want to find a group of young kids and molest them.
We are shocked and angry and feel we should of been told before we let him stay .
Thoughts?

Does he still live with his parents? Did they ask you to have him? Do you have young kids? Then they should have said ‘he’s said some pretty shocking things lately’.
Sounds more like an argument and parents wanted time out and he didn’t see his friends or party from yours so therefore not a worry. Also did he say it sarcastically as in his parents saying his friends are deviants and he’s going down a bad path and that was his smart ass response but parents are jumping on it.
How was he at yours? Do you have concerns about him?
Why would you believe this? Honestly I wouldn't. Sorry, I Know everyone is going to get into red flag mode and have you take your kids to a Dr but I would honestly just take it with a grain of salt. Imagine something you said while drunk and high got taken so seriously. Unfortunately thanks to certain TV shows, media, movies and you tubers making a joke out of pedophilia young people say things like this as a joke. I don't find it funny but it's true. Unless he's actually given you real reason to worry this should not be taken seriously.
Ok.
1: where did you hear this from?
2: if you heard this from anyone OTHER than his father, you should address it appropriately. Are they credible? Are they friends of friends of friends? Are they other teenagers who are gossiping?
3: have you spoken to his father about this or his parents? Maybe they can tell you the truth of the matter?
If you haven't spoken to his parents, why not?
I will warn you they are coming out with some shocking things lately. I've heard some doozies from those stupid xbox/playstation games. The thing is saying it is different from intent to act on it. I would be a bit direct and ask the nephew more questions...
21 year olds talk shit all the time. I've had 7 of them. Unless there's further signs I'd put it in the bin.
