[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 209110, member: 3626"] Heather, you didn't know a kid was in your house while you ate dinner? When a child was there for a few hours? We're not talking older teens, we're talking a 12 YO. I do believe it is the parents' responsibility to know who is in their home and what the kids are doing. This, to me, is just irresponsible even if your kids are 100% PCs. The rule at my mother's and my home was kids were always welcome to come over but they had to check in first. If they didn't, they were sent home when discovered no matter what they were doing. These parents obviously don't have that rule, so why should the child be held responsible for checking in? But it is the adults' responsibility to know what was going on and with whom. These parents fell far short of their responsibilities. They had a child in their home for an extended period of time with their child. There was never a check to see what their child was doing or if their child was okay. They even managed to eat a family meal with another child in the house. Then, they managed to really scare another parent by insisting that the visiting child was not there. Nice of the mom to finally say she would look. I stand by the parents are the ones who failed miserably on this one, not the boy. [/QUOTE]
