I tutor children after school (I am CRB checked and I run it as a business as it's my full time work) and have a current boy aged nine come to my house and frankly, he stinks.
it is so bad that when my family come home they ask what the awful smell is that pervades the house- I need to open windows.
This week we were working on some spelling that included the word shower so we started to chat- and he told me that he has a bath or shower once or twice a month.
I don't know whether toraise it wihhis mum, because he is in fact only coming back to me for one more lesson.
However, I am worried that his school mates will smell him, and i also wonder if she is being negligent; he said he doesn't like baths/showers so it looks as if sheis indulging his wants too much.
Any thoughts? I am sure she would be offended but is it my business or not?

If you were this boy's mum, would you want to be told?
