Can you help me deal with a neighbours child?

1 Answer

Answer :

Have you spoken with the parents? One time my son was getting in trouble at the bus stop. I found out because one of the fathers was screaming at him when I went by. No one bothered to call me. I felt so betrayed by the woman who had called this other kids father and never called me. She was supposed to be my friend. I rearranged my schedule and drove my son to school for the rest of the year. Turns out the kids were taunting him until he blew up then would get him in trouble for shoving a kid that taunted him. All that to say, talk to the parents first. If that doesn’t work you might want to call children’s services or something. A 5 year old playing a block or more from home unsupervised would surely prompt an investigation but I would only do that if the parents continued to neglect the child.
