I think I could agree that some children do this. I did. When I was little, I would constantly play alone either in my room or in the backyard. I would make up scenes in my mind and act them out. I'd do this for hours.

I would say about 95% of these scenes contained physical violence and sexual violence. It bothers me to this day to think of a small child playing...pretending to be sexually assaulted.

For me, it was a stress release. I HAD to do it. It was almost a compulsion. It was the only outlet I had. If I didn't do it...I thought I would explode. Literally.

So it makes perfect sense to me.
