[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just dropped off our oldest at college that is a plane ride away. My spouse and I entered into the agreement to pay his tuition without any expectation of the university reporting his status. He turned 18 this summer. We’ve worked really hard to teach him to make good choices and how to get out of rough situations. Now we need to let go. It’s not easy. But damn if I’m going to manage this kid for the rest of my life. T[/quote]

Straw man. Nobody said anything about micro managing. OP discussed when teen is in trouble. A parent SHOULD be notified of a teen freshman is sexually assaulted or caught with drugs in dorm or in the hospital for alcohol poisoning. The secrecy WHEN YOUR CHILD IS IN DANGER is alarming. [/quote]

+1  Well said.  [b]I would have wanted MY parents notified for any of your examples, PP, so it is completely realistic to me that my child would want US notified.[/b] [/quote]

What's stopping your kid from notifying you? Every family is not like yours and every situation is not the same.

I would have called my mother to discuss a sexual assault. I would have felt thoroughly violated for a second time and without any agency whatsoever if some "policies and procedures" Dean I hadn't even heard of before my assault called up my parents and read them a police report and gave them the lowdown on what they were doing as an institution. That's really unhealthy... [/quote]

Have you ever stopped to consider that sometimes the person who has been harmed or who is in trouble isn't ABLE to call?  Yes, the institutions should call if a person has been harmed.  [b]I think you have problems if you would feel "violated" by that.  [/b]It is totally weird that you keep using that word and it indicates a mental health issue for you.[/quote]

Once again, for the chronically stubborn - the institution cannot legally make the call you want it to.  If it does, it faces substantial civil liability.

How many times does this have to be repeated before you people you understand?  Do I need to copy this sentence and just paste in in new posts periodically?  JFC.  [/quote]
