The mother did not do her son any favors and do you think the kid's peers are going to give him a positive reception? If he acts like elsewhere, do you think that the other kid's parents are going to want him around their kids? If a kid acted like that in my home it would be the first and last time he would be allowed over and his parents would be told point blank why the child was persona non grata. While they can raise their child as they see fit, I have the right to determine who is allowed access to my child and entry into my home. Who wants their child influenced by such bad behavior?
