The Ruling on the Ablution of Touching the Private Parts of a Small Boy or Girl

Question
Does touching the private parts of a small child invalidate the ablution, and is there a difference in ruling between a boy and a girl?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Touching the private parts of both the young and the old does not invalidate the ablution, and there is no difference in this between male and female; because invalidation occurs with the exit of impurity, and no impurity has exited. And God knows best.
