[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School is out for the year. Today was the last day.

[b]I haven't discussed reaction options with my daughter.[/b] I was at work today. She doesn't know how I feel about this other than me saying I'm sorry it happened and we would talk more about it tonight. I mostly listened earlier.

[b]I want to notify his parents.[/b] I think I've said that at least 10 times already. They can deal with it however they deal with it. I'm not trying to decide on the punishment for the boy. I am also not going to tell her to just suck it up. That's a terrible lesson, and one I will not teach to my child. She reacted appropriately when it happened.[/quote]

I posted this earlier, and you haven't responded.

Please, please, please TALK TO YOUR DD BEFORE you try to contact the boy's parents.

I am 1,000% sure she will not want this situation to escalate. You are absolutely right to listen to her and let her express her feelings, and PPs are absolutely right that this is a teachable moment where you can advise her on how to handle unwanted attention/contact.

But there is absolutely NOTHING to be gained by trying to identify, locate and pursue a 12-year-old boy who did something stupid.[/quote]

It says that I will talk to her more about it tonight. I don't understand your definition of "gained." She should have an alternative to just tolerating it because boys acting like that is acceptable and expected. [/quote]

No one is saying it is acceptable, but you want to take it to an absolute extreme.  Do you want to make a poster child out of this boy? You seem thirsty for blood,[/quote]
