hi..
I really hope i have some reassurance here..
the other day myself and dh decided to chat to ds (8)(also adhd/aspergers..and tends to run off!) about talking to strangers,and people he knows,and that if anyone ever asks you to go with them,you always must ask mam and dad 1st,never go off,even if you know this person,
he said ok,he said, is this because of that girl who was stolen? ( we have had the news on,plus people talking about it in our company)
I said yes,I dont want anything to happen to you,and just wanted to run the rules over with you,
I reassured him that he was very safe,and he had nothing to worry about....
This eve,we met some friends for a meal,one of there dc said,Im going out to play,my ds said,NO,don't go out on your own,you might get stolen!! omg....
Our friends were not happy that this was said! I wasnt expecting ds to come out with it...
I explained to our friends that we had a little chat with him about the dangers,there reply was,well don't scare our kids!!
I feel real bad,dh said well let them be angry,
but this is really bugging me! was i wrong???
