[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 715710, member: 18958"] Just tried to check va law. Seems state is in the process of formulating a criminal statute to address the circumstance. A dozen states already have such a law it seems. I do not mean to trivialize the angst and fear of this. I seem to live with my heart in my mouth (frothing and blood dripping from fangs) impotent to address the vulnerability of my son. Who is 28. Not 18. But still I see YOUR situation clearly (such is the hazard of posting. Oh how brilliant we are with the problems of others.) These are my questions: Can we be primarily our childrens' friends and teachers while we are still responsible to protect them under our roof? Do communication , privacy and respect have primacy here for ferb? What about for you? He seems to be sneaking into your house a grown woman. Do you not deserve from him the same things? By this I refer to the same privacy, communication and respect. Of course we cannot control how others behave towards us. But we can take a stand and state it. If I were to have a conversation with my son in similar circumstances it might begin : I fear you are bringing somebody into the House when we are at the farm. I suspect it is your teacher. I want to let you know I believe this is deeply wrong on her part if this is the case. But i would probably be hysterical, regretful and terrified as soon as I opened my mouth. I think this is kernel of truth for many of us. The sense we control the outcome and are responsible. The former is a fantasy the belief our acting or not can protect them. Or ensure they want us close. [/QUOTE]
