[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry OP. Like most of the PPs, I think you have to call the parents and pull your son from the soccer team. These are not your son's friends, so no loss to him. And hopefully their parents will make sure they appreciate how dangerous this stunt was and make sure they never do anything like this again.

I would also reach out to the school, even though this didn't happen on their watch and they're not responsible. The counselors have seen and dealt with A LOT. Especially if it's a small private (but even if it's a big public) they will have good instincts and intel.

Kids do stupid things. That's why adults matter. Give the parents a chance to make sure their kids don't do more stupid things. Maybe they'll rise to the occasion, maybe they won't, but their kids may do worse unless. until someone intervenes.

And on the off chance you're in MoCo and your kid is a rising freshman, I know an MSI classics team with an amazing soccer coach that's looking to add to its roster. We lucked into this team and I've sometimes thought it's the best thing that ever happened to my kid.[/quote]

+1. As a secondary teacher, please tell the school with details. They need to be aware and be able to protect him; for example maybe they can be in different classes next year.

I also second the guidance from another poster of having him speak with a counselor. It's concerning to me that he wanted to go to practice and act like nothing happened. He can't pursue friendship with these boys anymore. They are cruel and do not value him. But he needs to see that, and his self worth, and stand up for himself. I am so sorry this is happening.[/quote]
