NY Dad
Proud Parent
I decided to start a new thread because this is off topic from the original post in the thread it came from. This isn’t about gymnastics (but it does specifically have to do with being a parent or guardian) so the mods should feel free to move this if it’s not in the right place.
First of all bogwoppit, again, I'm so sorry that this happened to your dd. Very relieved that you said she's okay now. I hope they find whoever did it and he gets punished. (I have my own ideas about what that should entail but I know that's not going to happen).
At what age do parents discuss this specific issue with their kids? (Especially if you’ve got an anxious kid to begin with.)
With a lot of the conversation with my dds we speak in generalities. This one seems so specific (keep an eye on your drink) it would be hard to discuss this without being specific. Even if this is commonplace I don't think it's a situation I have to worry about for many years but I don't want to be that parent that learns the hard way.
I’m finding this very disturbing and difficult to digest. Is this really be commonplace? This sounds like something from an episode of Law & Order SVU.Someone dropped drugs in my middle kids drink this weekend, it all ended well, besides collapsing, vomiting and a rush to the ER in an ambulance. But as it happened at the same time as the #metoo, it just reminded me that we are vulnerable to those who wish to abuse us.
