[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I looked at Riemer's FB page and then at the mother's FB page. I don't think it's appropriate for an elected official to be publicly bashing his own constituents based on rumor (even if it's accurate, which seems possible or even likely.) But the Meitiv woman's FB page also seems troubling. She's constantly trolling for $$. And posting about fights with the school secretary about where and how her 10yo can wait for his afterschool activities.

I have similarly aged kids in nearby MCPS elementary and this kind of thing never happens. Kids leave school every day and no one checks with whom. Kids hang around at times, and as long as they're not making a scene or causing trouble, no one would blink an eye at a kid waiting for a parent or an afterschool class, inside or outside. It also happens that this is neighborhood where tons of kids roam and no police ever intervene.

So I keep coming back to the question: why do the Meitivs experience so much difficulty with authorities and their children -- when no one else does? Is it that EVERYONE else is a helicopter parent? Or is it possible that the Meitivs are, for their own warped reasons, deliberately seeking out confrontations with the police (and the school secretary) in order to promote some ideological agenda?

Very interesting about the mother's interactions with the school secretary. I just read her posts and can't help but wonder:  why is her son the only one wandering around? Are the other parents taking their kids home first and then back to the school? Does she not understand legal liability to the school if her kid injured himself roaming around the school by himself?
