[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, also be mindful that there are parents who scream “bullying!!!” when no such thing is happening. It is because those parents are bullies raising bullies, and they don’t want to be found out. The school staff is generally well trained to spot this. Generally, not always. Just be aware. [/quote]

YES. This is why kids are reluctant to be direct and parents are reluctant to advise them to be direct. As soon as you finally say "I am not interested. Stop contacting me" you run the risk of the parent crying bullying, sobbing to their friends and sharing the story of your mean, heartless child without the context to anyone who wants to comfort them.

Unfortunately sometimes school personnel get involved in the wrong way. poor Larlo has this text that tells him to leave the person alone and your kid gets called in to explain it.

It's the crazy parents who escalate things. The ones in tune with their kids see it as a social learning experience and get their kids some help with social skills rather than blaming the evil rejector.[/quote]
