[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think you need to delete anything.  People are so weird about trying to protect the privacy of a batshit crazy drunk threatening to kill an elementary schooler.  Won't somebody thing of the Good Guy With A Gun (tm)???

As far as your actions going forward, I'd make sure your kids know that those three girls are welcome at your house but that your kids are never to go to their house.  Avoid the dad, take him out of the group text threads, and work as a group to make sure that there's always another parent around at the bus stop (hopefully a sane dad) in case he shows up.  Report any further threats to the police, even though you can see that they're useless, because a paper trail could come in handy.[/quote]

I hate to exclude the kids, but of the dad becomes unstable and his kids are seeking refuge at your house, you and your family are now in his cross hairs.[/quote]

I think it the kids truly came to us in an emergency we would take them in but would then leave our house with them and go to a hotel or something. The thought of not helping those kids makes me feel sick. I don't know if my husband would actually turn them away but he does not want them here for play dates or anything. [/quote]
