Just had to ban my 9 year old daughter from going round the corner onto the next street after numerous issues with this family. She plays with the 10 year old girl regually and to be honest have no beef with her but a group of kids from our culdesac has started going round to play seems to be the new hangout for them.
Last week she told me the girls 13 year old brothers friend was passing cigerettes around she assures me she didnt have any and I trust her shes pretty grown up for her age. I then found out from another of her friends that the same boy had asked my daughter to be his girlfriend and when she said no he called her something nasty dont know exactly as she wont talk about it be really upset. She went to her dads and only came back yesterday so hadnt been no further issues today shes come back saying there a group of older boys all been throwing stones at her and another friend. Other friends mums just been round to find out whats happening and has just realised the 13 year old boy is at home looking after 10 and 7 year old while mums at work.
Shes asked me to go around with her later to see the mum as been too many incidents over summer involving the family and now its pretty clear its all been happening because they havent been supervised have not previously had any problems why not complained about the cigarettes plus the fact it was another boy passing them round and dont know where he lives.
Ive told my daughter she cant go round anymore if she still wants to play with the girl thats fine but has to stay on the culdesac and asked if she knew his mum wasnt around and she said yes, not daughters fault but wish she had said something sooner as wouldnt of been so laid back about her going round.
So not looking forward to going round soon dont know the mum that well dont know what response we'll get
