The on the website dictates that ablution is invalidated by touching the private parts absolutely, even if the touched private part belongs to a small child. This is the more cautious approach and clears one's conscience. Al-Nawawi and Ibn Qudamah support this view, as Ibn Qudamah holds that touching the private part of a human being invalidates ablution, whether it belongs to a child or an adult.
