[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weird responses here.

1) Mom needs to know, but as several PPs said, this family is going through hell right now and almost indefinitely. Parenting can't be their top priority - that's unfortunate but it's reality. So communicating what happened and what you expect needs to be done with that in mind. Yes, they and their daughter still deserve grace and space.

2) I don't know why the OP and PPs are freaking about the carpool - whomever drives, the girls apparently are on a team together, so someone needs to think through how that is going to work. If you have a good, wise coach (I hope) talk to them and see how they might handle this. Otherwise consider pulling your kid from the team. There's always another team or sport or activity, esp at 11yo.

3) Your daughter should block the other girl on texts as well as all social media. You should be monitoring every single account and post. (Why the hell 11yos have unmonitored phones and social media is a question for the OP for another day.) I'd also reach out to the school counselor - even in my kids' giant public MS, the counselors were a total godsend in helping when kids behaved badly online. They deal with this all the time.

Good luck OP. You can protect your daughter while avoiding steps that compound another family's unimaginable tragedy.[/quote]
Did you actually suggest that OPs kid needs to quit her sport because SOMEONE ELSE called her fat and a slut?! Are you effing for real? I’m sorry this girl’s dad is terminally ill, but that will not give her license throughout her life to be a horrible human being who feels better about herself by saying hurtful things to people.
