Chook n Boo Mum Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 She did say he was disabled but made up the sickness bit.........and her dad had already arranged to come & collect her from the friend's house earlier in the evening on his way home from work & would have come out later too had she rung him instead of saying the friend's mum would bring her home .........kids can be so manipulative when they want to....if the various parents got together & spoke I expect they would all have similar thoughts & responses faaaaaarrrr removed from what their little angels tell them about each other, trouble is we don't want to admit that either there's a problem or that their DS/DD is, as in this case, moderately out of control! Apparently she's got no respect for her teachers either............not a great start in life........... Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Well done Sha, evidence that you did the right thing I hope the Dad gets the wake up call he needs to be more of a disciplinarian at home, as it sounds like that poor Mum is having a really hard time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I think there is another story going on here. One of a troubled teenager? Her stories don't make sense - I feel she was hiding something & just wanted someone to help, listen & make her feel wanted maybe. I'd see this as more than wanting a lift home & I'd have been inclined to call the police even. I know you did what you felt was right & good on you, but I would have been wary of giving a stranger ( even a teen) a lift home. I hope this girl is ok?

Lewis Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I was concerned about the phone number thing too Chelsea. I wouldn't be - most teenagers don't know telephone numbers because they don't dial - they find the person's name and hit the green button. I'd be more concerned if they did know the number & want to call it - ... I know a lot of my numbers Know all the families mobiles and house phones - the same with a few friends I phone the most. Phone numbers are one thing I am good at remembering ... that and postcodes No idea why, but its helpful doing the sat nav/aa route planner and writing postcards Sounds like you diid the right thing Sha - I'd be too scared to go up to a strangers door!

henriette Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I think there is another story going on here. One of a troubled teenager? Emma.x I must admit that I think there could be more than meets the eye after reading the last few posts. Her Mum obviously has a hard time, but perhaps the girl really feels she is missing out on love/attention in some way because of her brother and all the rest of the family. Some children cope well enough with problems like that, but she might be one of the ones that can't. As you said craftyhunnypie, let's hope she is OK. Such a sad situation At least Sha, you did all you could do for her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I don't think it's any more sinister than a troubled teenager who needs attention, and perhaps made the wrong choice about getting home that night. Lewis, Rosie is like you, and knows all the phone numbers and postcodes, but her friend, who is older, is totally hopeless and only just remembers where she lives!
