[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP—we need an update. What’s your thinking about next steps?[/quote]

We’ve contacted all the parents and both coaches.  We haven’t gotten a response from everyone.

Still deciding on whether or not DS will be leaving the team.  I think it’s the best, but DH & DS said it will make it worse for DS.  I do understand.

As far as pursuing this legally, I’m honestly not sure if we’re up to it.  All really hard to prove at this point and we already have a parent who has refused to acknowledge it’s even a possibility.

Frankly, we are already stretched thin and can’t afford the lawyers a lot of these teammates can.  Plus we really don’t know exactly who is involved and who is not.  DS remembers very little.  [/quote]

Good for you, OP, for contacting everyone. They needed to be informed. You can't control what they do with that information but you did your part.

Regarding whether your DS leaves the team: maybe the way to discuss it with him is to ask him what he gets out of sticking with them. He and your DH think he'll "look weak" if he leaves but should that come at the cost of him being treated with the respect he deserves? Frame it not as him fleeing the team but turning them down and seeking out a team that will value him and treat him with respect. (I feel for you here especially. My DS is younger but is also the odd kid out who keeps trying to befriend kids who want nothing to do with him.)

As far as legal options, I think you're wise to consider whether it's worth it, both emotionally and financially. If I were in your shoes, I don't think I would. You have notified people who need to know and let everyone know this is something to take seriously.  [/quote]
