[quote=Anonymous]You have gotten lots of supportive advice but wanted to chime in to say I am so sorry this was done to your son - it is awful, and yes technically a crime.

Lot of issues here-

What if your son was allergic? Or had a bad reaction? (which he did) Or who knows what a large quantity of melatonin does.

These boys did not act in a way they would to a friend. This is bullying at worst and at least disrespectful to your son.

The next step for this kind of behavior if unchecked is … trick someone into taking drugs? Trick a girl into this and taking off her clothes? I could go on.

It was bad and I’d contact all of the parents. That having been said, 15 year olds boys especially can have poor judgment and act poorly in group settings. Not defending the behavior AT ALL but just to say I’d keep this to the parents and maybe the coach vs police even though it really was a crime (and I am surprised that Urgent Care didn’t feel the need to report it).

Most importantly, reassure your son he did NOTHING wrong and that these kids acted like jerks and in a dangerous way, and he should value himself enough to not hang out with them (sigh, I know so easy to say as a parent, so hard for teens to absorb). [/quote]
