[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. We let the counselor know and she is reaching out to the counselor assigned to the boy. I did not feel comfortable texting the boy myself because I don't know him well enough to know how stable he is, but the counselor suggested we have him text something like, "I am sorry I don't have the time to hang out. You are a great kid, but getting so many texts makes me really uncomfortable. I will not be responding to more texts." Then he blocked the number. Not sure how I feel about that because again I don't know the child's level of emotional well being and what he can handle. I won't reach out to the mom because I do know she is a pistol when it comes to defending her son and she is at the school a lot causing trouble. I'm sure I will get some backlash, but I support my child's right to decline an invite from someone he already have chances to.[/quote] No one said he didn't have the "right" to decline and invite. Jesus, lady.[/quote] OP here. Let me explain. I know there are some out there who would say the boy is simply lonely and needs a friend. My son gave him chances and it is not a match. Perhaps my choice of language offended you, but my point is even if this boy is struggling, he does need help, but my child also needs to be free to decline. It does sound like most people understand boundaries. I do hope he gets the support he needs which is why I appreciated the suggestion to speak with the counselor.[/quote]
