[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you friends with any other parents on the team? I'd probably start there, talk to them to see if maybe their kid said anything about it?

And I think I would tell the coach. My kid's coach would be horrified at this kind of behavior.

I'm sorry this happened to your kid. We've had similar issues with ours trying to keep up with the cool kids who aren't nice, and I've got a daughter.

Not really friends.  We are all cordial.

I’m friendliest with these two moms who have a boy that’s always been the nicest to DS.  I called them and they were pretty validating and spoke to their son and confirmed that he knew it was happening but wasn’t involved.  They seem to be taking it seriously.

The host parents were outright dismissive and implied my son lied.

I’ve been able to get a response from a few others who mostly just respond with, “thanks for letting us know”.  Not sure if they’ll address it with their kids.

I do want to know who came up with the idea and the dosage of the melatonin but I’m not sure I ever will. [/quote]

First of all, kudos to you for telling the parents of everyone involved. It's not pleasant to confront people and in many ways it would be easier to not say anything at all and just pull your son out of this group without explanation. And yet you did the right thing.

No sympathy for these jerk parents who implied that your son lied. Is it clear that the host's son was the instigator of the prank? I hope the parents were just being initially defensive and will come to their senses. Honestly, if someone accused my kid of doing something that stupid, I would be doubtful as well until I dug deeper and had some confirmation. By taking it to the coach, you will at least force these parents to have a look at the situation, and that's all you can do. And by telling the other parents, it will hopefully lead to talks with their kids about stupid and dangerous pranks, and the idiocy of just going along with the group when someone plans something stupid.
