[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He is targeting her and it is hard to have that kid around. The pattern isn't with other families because he is targeting her specifically.

The kids aren't cut out to be friends. Let the friendship die out. But keep an eye on it. I bet more complaints come in since he will continue to target her on the bus. [/quote]

He really isn't though.  I sincerely believe he isn't.  She's a super sensitive kid and might FEEL that way but my son maybe has participated in things where she's being teased but hasn't been super involved and the thing with the orchestra wasn't even a conversation WITH her, she just happened to hear it.

OP. Are you being obtuse on purpose? Your son is a part of a group that has repeatedly teased/antagonized this girl. And she is his best friend’s sister. So not only does she have to deal with your son at school, she has to deal with him at her house, too?

I mean…what do you really think should happen here? Do you honestly think your son should repeatedly antagonize this girl, but her mom should welcome him into their lives with open arms? Really?[/quote]

Not op but I imagine the truth is somewhere in the middle. And would just distance myself and find better friends. Why does the girl get immediately believed? They are both 10 and probably not reliable reporters. Just cut losses and move on.[/quote]

Her son admitted that he participates in the teasing. You are not going to repeatedly antagonize my child (even if you are being a lemming) and then be welcomed into my home. She should have peace in her home, and OP’s son doesn’t allow that.

Yes, if the girl was less sensitive this might not be an issue. But she is sensitive, so this mom is [b] helicopter [/b]parenting the child(ren) she has. Which means OP’s son will not be a part of their lives right now.[/quote]

Fixed that for you,[/quote]
