Re: Should I or shouldn't I?
Okay Notorious........so the social worker was an imbecile. How sad! If he's that incompetent, he should be dismissed from his post.
But I've very PROUD of you for going to the police. And I'm glad that the officer took you seriously this time. Even in an organization, you will find people who are more competent than others. That social worker might have been stupid........but surely there must be others at the agency who are more proactive. (Just a thought to consider if you think you can go back there again).
Now since you went to the police again this time (GOOD FOR YOU!!!)......I understand that those kids are too young to press charges, but it doesn't hurt for those kids to receive a bit of a scare from the police, know what I mean? The smart thing to do would be to ask the officer if the could **conduct a meeting **with you, those nasty children, and their clueless parents. This meeting should take place **FACE to FACE **and all parties should be present. And the police officer should explain to the parents and their children the consequences that could result if they engage in such behavior again. The parents will feel embarrassed to have the police come to their house to lecture them. Because to them, it will be a reflection of their own poor parenting skills. But it needs to be done, Noto.
Don't put your children at risk again. *Go back to the same officer and ask him that you don't want to press charges against the parents (because the parents are ultimately responsible for underage children)...................but request the officer to conduct the meeting. * Maybe when the parents hear that you've been patient enough not to sue them or press charges.........and once they hear what your son has to say...........they might feel a bit ashamed......especially in front of an officer.
