[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 469145, member: 2211"] I have to say that my first instinct was to try and see the situation from the girl's perspective. She doesn't know your son, clearly he is over the age of ten but not behaving as a typical 14 y/o might, perhaps she thought he was cute but when he started in with the fake phone stuff it caused her to feel uncomfortable, maybe there was a prior incident at the library with someone else. You just never know why the girl responded the way she did. Perhaps, for some reason, SHE was scared? This does not excuse the father's behavior,of course. I think as parents of difficult child's, we instinctively believe (rightfully so) that they need to always be protected and we are on guard. I think the Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) worker was shaken up and didn't handle this surprise situation well, nor did the librarians. Someone should have come over to the man and asked him to leave and threatened to call the police if he didn't settle down NOW. I would stick to the plan and continue going to the library. If that jerky man shows up and says anything I would call the police for harassment. No way should difficult child be banned from his favorite PUBLIC library! [/QUOTE]
