[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the odd man out because I would not tell. [b]Telling would do what for you?[/b] Take away the fact that he took them and got sick? The damage is done. He is ok now. Do you really think the other kids will admit what they did? Of course not… do you really think the other parents will set consequences because of this? Of course not… focus on YOUR kid. The soccer team is not a good fit, find a new one. He needs better skills with picking out friends. He is 15… [/quote]

I’d sleep better knowing that I acknowledged some crappy behavior. I do believe that kids can learn from mistakes and that my telling their parents gives them an opportunity to engage in that learning. It’s not a guarantee but an opportunity for them to learn. I wouldn’t “need” anyone to admit anything. It would be enough to let them know that that I “see” them and what they did. Maybe it would prevent them from doing it again to someone else. I would feel awful if I didn’t say something and they did harm another kid later on. So yeah, there’s a lot to get out of telling the parents what happened. [/quote]
