[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 288410, member: 1550"] I'm sorry I sounded defensive (holding out olive branch). :)Parents of kids who are dangerous often tend to get blamed and talked about and I don't want anyone to think that sexually acting out is a symptom of Aspergers. People misunderstand it enough. Likely he was sexually abused himself at some point in time. Whatever the story is, nobody can help him alone, not even the parents, not even a professional. I agree with Susie. The police should be contacted and the parents should ask what is being done or what to do. I would have called the police on him if he had dared touch my daughter, even if he is mentally ill. in my opinion if all this is presented correctly, he maybe needs to be in an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) for the protection of others and his own family. However...you really CAN'T make that decision. I think you realize that this is out of your hands, and the best thing you can do is to make sure your own kids are with others at all times. Arm them...Mace, pepper spray, whatever. I have no idea what is wrong with this boy. None of us have any background. Was he adopted? Did his birthmother drink while pregnant? This all makes a difference in how this child's brain works. Is there mental illness on the family tree on either side? Substance abuse? I agree that there is no way you can know everything unless you sat in on all the meetings, IEPs, professional appointments etc. and were with this child every night. But you do need to protect your own children. If the parents are in denial, I don't see how you can renew your friendship. If you ever do renew it, my advice is to be a quiet listener. There is nothing better to us than one who will let us vent and not judge. Thanks for coming. Sorry for jumping down your throat. We can be sensitive. [/QUOTE]
