Yes you should check in at the office and receive a pass. If you do that the school will know you're on campus and have permission to be there. Maybe if your schedule allows you can drop him off just before school starts, the aid should be there.

Take your son to the local park playground.  Even the local McDonalds has a play area for kids.  You don't need to get an official group.

Honey, I dont know if i completley understand the question..i"m guessing he is a father, then maybe he might want to be w/ the kids, and if your the mother then your doing the right thing by wanting to be w/ him on his day. But sounds to me, it's not a big deal to him.  Not cool.

What kind of amazon are you hanging around with, that can tote an 11 yr old kid on her shoulders all day? The kid has two legs, I assume, suggest that he walk, if the kid doesn't walk, maybe you should.

there is a test you can take as ahorse-rider to go on roads but its not something you HAVE to do. Kids should not be on a road riding without an adult rider to supervise. It's as dangerous as letting a kid cycle on the road withpout an adult and passing their cycling proficiency test!

I wouldn't do it, to tacky for me, was raised the old fashion way. It is ok to hug, hold hands, and a brief kiss  in the public but that is the limit of it.You want to crawl on someone do it the privacy of your home or get a motel. I think it is very distasteful to carry on in public like that. Would you want your small child seeing someone doing that in a park when their there to play? I don't think so! go get you a room somewhere.

Turn him over to human services. Or better yet have the mom turn him over to lawyer or human services. The kids do not need to be in that environment.

The parents' legal responsiblity to care for their child is independant of the actions of the child.  The prosecutor and police would still have the judgement call on their own as to what response they would have.  In cases where the parents had made reasonable efforts to monitor their child's whereabouts, and the child goes astray, there is rarely consequences to the parent.  If the parent left the child alone at home willfully, the consequences would likely be greater.

Go to an amusement park! I guess that means we'll have to wait till next summer, cuz it's cold as hell here, and I doubt it's much better there.

You were right.  Their ball even hit your son's car, and they took off, right?  That means that if they did any damage, they had no intention of taking responsibility for it. If they want to play, I am sure there are parks in your area that they can go to.

I am sorry to say but i agree with him. You got yourself in a family relationship. Our kids come 1st and we always travel with them. Try to comprmise and bring a sitter so you guys can go off and do stuff on your own

You know who the responsible parent is....YOU! Just continue being what you are, and the problem is solved. Kids are smart, and they KNOW! They want to live where there is stability, security, and love! You give them all that, so you have nothing to be concerned about! Relax!!

WOW sounds like a real jerk, didn't even want to pay child support. I hope you got your increase.\nAnyways that is unsafe for your young children to travel alone. I would no, tell him your feelings on this and hold to it. \nWho are these people taking them to the long trip to the airport? Can you trust them? If you don't know them, then no. What about on a plane unsupervised, heck no, they are too young.

I think the problem has to do with the parents not forcing the children to go outside and play.  Watching television and playing video games is not such a bad thing when done in moderation.  It becomes a bad thing when the parent allows the child to sit in front of the television as long as they would like.  I feel that a child should be made to go outside and play every day weather permitting.\n\nI am a parent of two boys and it is required that they get a certain amount of outside activity.  If the weather is bad, I insist they find other activities outside of television or video games such as coloring, writing, reading, board games, card games, etc.\n\nI also think parents have gotten away from the homecooked meal and indulge in fast foods more often.  As a working parent, I can undertand the temptation of always picking up dinner on the way home, but in the long run it is an unhealthy choice for the entire family.  We need to get back to our roots where the entire family sits down each night to enjoy a homecooked meal and only occassionally indulge in fast food.

The way young people are being brought up now is very different than when I was growing up. Parents now aren't near as strict as they use to be.  If the parents of the children now were to give their children the discipline they needed instead of just giving in because of , in some cases fear then the kids now would not be in the situations they are in.  Children would not be having children and morals would be a lot different.

Check with local probate court if there is such a legality.  If child is a very responsible person, might be okay, unless that child is babysitting babies.  You know your child better than anyone.  How long would parents be out?  Most children that age are too immature to be left alone.

I think over protectiveness is the worse. The parents protect and hide things that they feel are bad from this child that when they are finally able to go into the world alone they are faced with things they never knew existed.  I don't think being over protective is good at all.
