[quote=Anonymous]Those of you advising high school or college age kids to babysit her son: STOP. It's not a good idea unless she KNOWS that person intimately. High school and college age kids are notoriously unreliable and not always the best at communicating. Furthermore, to my point about the rec center, older kids can influence your kid in harmful and negative ways without you knowing.

I'm the poster who warned about the rec centers and my family member who was influenced negatively by the older boys at the rec center also was influenced negatively by HS seniors and college freshmen who were part of a college prep mentoring program for underclassmen. I was stunned that this was happening right under MCPS's nose, but these seniors and college freshmen were helping kids skip school, buy drugs and pulling them into fights with other kids for their amusement and entertainment.

You need an ADULT, who's over 21 and who is a reliable caregiver for your son with special needs. Do not outsource this to other older kids you don't know. It's not safe.[/quote]
