[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did your son actually have a toy at school that he traded for or your son took the toy from the other boy with a promise that he would eventually bring the other boy something? 
It sounds like your kid went home with a toy he tricked the other boy into giving him and the other boy went home with nothing. You aren't accepting your kid swindled the other kid.[/quote]

My son was the one who was "swindled" and I think it was a good lesson for him. The other kid convinced him to give him one of his better Pokemon cards and the kid said he would bring a card my kid wanted tomorrow. Guess what the kid never brought? Then the kid wouldn't give my kid back his card. I'm actually glad it happened--it taught my kid to not trade something important to him unless the other kid has the object in hand. I wouldn't dream about getting the other parent involved, though.

OP, I wouldn't spend time worrying about this. Just tell the other parent you'll be happy to send it back with your kid. Problem solved. [/quote]
