[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 724246, member: 11832"] Nomad, If these were people I knew, I would definitely confront them and offer this website as an alternative place to discuss the issues. Maybe they are too stupid to realize that this is inappropriate for the child? I have a FB friend who routinely posts when she is going out of town. I would never do that, but I was stalked by an ex-husband. That makes me much more cautious about sharing personal information. Someone needs to confront the issue for the sake of the child. He is only 8 and cannot argue with his parents about their poor choices. Think about it. I also tend to be more outspoken for children due to the fact that as a child myself, I was living in an unsafe environment. No adult ever did anything to protect me, including my own parents. I typically feel compelled to give the kids a voice. I remember years ago when I was working for the preschool, a mom obtained a restraining order against the father of two of our students. We had the father's photo in case he showed up at school and attempted to grab the kids. My supervisor said that she would not stand in his way if he came for the kids. I told her that I would confront him while she dialed 911. I was horrified that all my coworkers would just allow this abusive father to take his children from school without a fight. [/QUOTE]
