[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS 10 got invited for 3-day beach weekend. That week lice had run through classroom. Everyone did their best to eradicate lice, of course. I got a call from my ds on friday evening. He was sitting on the porch of his friend's house; they had left him behind b/c they found lice on him. They were long gone. OK - i went and picked him up. Did the whole lice treatment thing all over again. Saturday they rang "would DS like to join us now?" Uh Certainly -drove down I-95 met them half-way. The mom gave DS a lice check while i waited. Ok - great - clean bill of health. DS got in their car and they drove off. I drove back home. As soon as i walked in the door, phone rang - "your son has lice. you must come get him. We will not allow him into our beach house" He was in SOUTH CAROLINA.

It's been years but i feel my neck getting hot as I type this. I say "can you take him to a hair dresser who will do a lice treatment? NO - they would not let him into the house.

Misery. Sheer misery. I am so glad that lice-in-classroom phase is past.[/quote]

You let him go with them the second time? When they abandoned him the first.. There would be hell to pay if someone did that to my child!![/quote]

I would hope its a fake story.  Why would someone do a lice check on a kid before a vacation?  If he had lice, just treat it with the parent's permission and wash all his stuff.  Or, call the parents and drop him off or have them pick him up before they left.  That is neglect to leave a child on a porch with a cell phone, tell him to wait an hour and call his parents.  Makes no sense. And, why would they then drive 1/2 back to meet him after getting to their vacation spot.  Then, not check him at the spot, take off with him then scream lice.  Seriously, just get a box of RID (or what ever it is now called).  This has to be fake or OP is nuts to agree for her kid to go with neglectful people.[/quote]
