[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 199950, member: 1550"] OK, first thing: The other girls haven't taken sides. My daughter is NOT one to talk it over with her friends. She hasn't discussed it with the other two girls, but she did go to the homecoming pep rally with one of the kids she was at the waterpark with. Secondly, we live in a very small town and I pretty much know most of the parents. The other two girls did call home. Nobody was angry about anything--our kids do things together all the time--shopping mall trips, camping, etc. Sara lives in the boondocks and I don't know her parents well--just that they used to own a bar and that there are alcohol problems. I've never known them to be overprotective at all. Onto the situation: I don' t know how Sara's parents found out. She didn't tell easy child, just blasted her. My guess is that Sara said she'd be home before she got home and when she wasn't, she said, "Well, I couldn't get home because easy child's parents left." Which is true, only if she had called and been denied permission, we would have driven her home. easy child doesn't know the whole story, nor do we. I can tell you that Sara will never come with us again as she lies. I'm not used to that with easy child's friends. Sara's parents didn't call us to find out if we were going to follow the kids around the park or anything (we never do that--this was an indoor park and I can't handle the heat in the waterpark, and my daughter and son never need us to follow them around). She wasn't concerned about her daughter before we took her. I would have called to find out what they planned on doing. Frankly, I never had any kids this young who made things up, like staying overnight without telling us so maybe I'm just too naive. I learned :) Even my druggie daughter was good about checking in until she hit around sixteen. If I knew more about what had gone on, I could help my daughter more, but I don't know. I certainly won't bring kids with anymore unless I know the parents well. But that doesn't help my daughter deal with Sara at school... [/QUOTE]
