I think someone forgot to notify Rob here that there is a lot of
madness in NGE. It's not really suited for kids that will say "OMG! He
grabbed her boobie!" It's a very crucial (well, ok... not _THAT_
crucial) character element that is magnified later in the series. 

Personally, I found that scene shocking (only because I didn't expect
it). However, you'll come to find out later that there was a reason
for all of that madness. Would you stop reading a novel because your 6
year old son saw a picture of a naked woman on the page you were
reading (typical in fantasy novels)? I don't think so. You would just
explain that it wasn't his time to understand it now, and that he must
not trouble himself with trying to understand. Just remember that it's
not the rap music that makes the kids do stupid shit, but the fact
that parents don't discuss how to deal with life with their kids. The
more honest you are about topics, the more confidence your children
will have in you, and the less likely they are to do something stupid.
