[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 184538, member: 3626"] I think the only way things are going to have a chance of working out is for you to talk to her. Tell as much as you feel comfortable discussing with an emphasis on the fact that you know he has problems, you take responsibility for his actions and you would never put another child at risk. Honestly, if it were my daughter out there playing and a young teen wanted to play with her I would look twice. If I then found he had a "history" of whatever nature, it would take some serious reassurance from the parents before I would let my child be near this teen. I would also want to protect other kids in the neighborhood and would warn their parents of what I knew (no embellishment, just what I personally knew). I know it hurts when our kids are forbidden to play with others but I did understand when this happened to my daughter -- she would rage at home and at school. Many parents found this frightening. It didn't help that she'd stolen little things from some of the kids. It made for a very lonely childhood until I went out of my way to reassure the parents that (1) the raging would never happen at another person's home nor in our home when their child was there -- just something my little one would not do and (2) I was are of the thefts, had been the one to report and would be sure to let them know if she was to start with this type of behavior again. This did help in allowing the kids to come to our home although they were not comfortable having her in theirs. It wasn't easy to do but the choice was have the discussion and hope the parent would have some compassion to give her a chance. I hope you can find a solution before this mother makes him a total neighborhood pariah. [/QUOTE]
