I have a DN6. He is SEN and often doesnt spot danger. Anyway our DM brought him a saw and drill for adults this xmas because he likes building. My dsis and BIL seemed to be ok with it but aibu to think this is not an appropriate gift being 6 and he is impulsive and doesnt get how dangerous things are. Usually they are left to their own devices and aren't well monitored.
I think its so irresponsible and dangerous!

Absolutely mad gift. SEN or not, no one should give a 6 year old Adult tools! Hide them away until he is older or replace them with toy items instead.

Like fully adult sized proper tools?

That's insane

Adult tools for a 6 year old is mad.

Will your brother and sister in law cotton on if you point this out, or alternatively can you loose them??

Ive pointed it out to them. They themselves aren't exactly the best danger spotter!

What else can I do?
