[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] He has texted back various excuses over the weeks and when that didn't work he gave a blunt "no thanks" but it continues. He thought the kid was Ok last year and hung out with him a little, but they didn't click much. He feels stalked and isn't interested now and it's making him really uncomfortable. He is now asking me for advice and I basically think he has done everything he should. I have read the texts and I think he handled it well. What would y'all suggest?[/quote]

Tell him to treat him the way you would want someone to treat your son if he was doing that. Tell him to say he is busy with such and such on most weekends. Let him down gently[/quote]

Why does he need to be "let down gently"? No means no. OP's son has done more than he is required to even continuing to respond to the requests. This kid is harassing him, plain and simple. And regardless of his possible "social issues", someone in authority needs to intervene and make him stop. The onus is not on OPs son to fix this. [/quote]

Other PP seems to think she is above the law. No doubt her kid does, also.  If your kid is “well enough” to text 52 times, your kid is “well enough” to control themselves and their negative impulses. Clearly you know they have impulse control issues, as you probably do also.   Let me guess, that parent harasses other parents, too. Way to get sued and lose everything you own when your kid doesn’t know when to stop.  When (not if) your kid touches my kid, consider it “on”. [/quote]
