I live in Kent, in a small(ish) village alongside the Thames. Some very dear friends of mine are experiencing some "activity" (for want of a better word!) with their son and it is starting to freak them out.
Their DSs are 7 and 3. As a youngster, DS1 used to wave up the stairs, saying goodbye, whenever they left the house. He doesn't anymore. However, DS2 started doing the same thing approximately six months ago, but he also says there is a man in his bedroom who he plays with. DF was worried about this, but I said to her that it seemed friendly enough and since DS1 seemed to grow out of it, presumably DS2 would too.
However, today when I met up with DF, she was visibly shaken and went on to tell me that when she had gotten home with DS2 today after pre-school, he had asked for some sweets. DF said they didn't have any, but they could get some for the walk to school. He said that it was OK, there were some under his bed. She just assumed this meant he had stashed some there, so said come on and show me because you shouldn't hide them. She walked in his bedroom wiyh DS2 and a haribou ring literally rolled out from under his bed in front of them. She said that DS2 giggled and said that the man had put it there.
Now, DS2 doesnt have a problem with being in his room, he says the man is really nice. But DF is concerned because obviously this is slightly more than she was used to with DS1, who used to just wave up the stairs.
I have been trying to find out what was on the land before their house, which is reasonably new, but nothing is showing up.
Any advice?
