[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 734627, member: 13260"] As far as I know, it was just talk. As far as is he gay or not, I have no idea if that is something he is wondering about or not. My stepdaughter is gay, married, and has a daughter. We are all very close, very socially liberal in our ideas so however that works out is fine. It never occurred to me that the mother would report it; I'm a mandated reporter as part of my job description, so I get it. She was very professional and calm, but her little boy has lots going on in his life, too, so I can imagine she's not happy about it. If she does, she does. Yes, he a mostly medical/drug management therapist that he sees bi-weekly, but not much talk therapy there. There is a mental health counselor at school who is a kind, very young, childless, sweet soul and likes my grandson. I'm afraid to drop this bomb in the middle of all the other issues he and the other kids in his class are having. He's in a special day class for emotionally and behaviorally disturbed kids. The teacher is on her way out this year and has not been asked back. She has a transgender daughter with an intellectual impairment in another special day class at that school. Grandson has said some bad things to her (don't know what, teacher wouldn't say). The girl and grandson have long since made up and are friendly but there is no love lost between the teacher and grandson. School is out in two weeks and I'm afraid of rocking the boat. I'm gutted. Again. We watch grandson and his sister like hawks. He doesn't seem to bother with her all that much. They love each other and are protective and squabble like siblings do, but we don't let that go on. We like a peaceful household and nip discord in the bud. We never have left them alone at the house, even for a short run to the store. I don't trust his judgement not to do get into something. [/QUOTE]
