[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry this happened. The parents may not know what to say. My son is 12, and recently stopped wanting to hang around with a boy he had been friends with for a long time. He didn't like the way that the boy was acting, and found some of his humor homophobic and mildly racist. It is not 100 percent the boy's fault, his parents are separated, and his mom is lovely, but his dad is a jerk, and I have had issues with him making similar comments that I disliked in the past. Instead of not answering the mom about getting the kids together, I responded to the text saying that I was sorry, but it seemed like the kids were having a little trouble getting along, and might need a break, though I hoped it would blow over and the kids would reconnect. Her reaction to it wasn't great - she was polite, but it was clear she was angry/hurt/upset. I would never advocate blowing someone off and not answering, but being honest about the issue didn't seem to help either.[/quote]
