I have asked the parents to stay for the meetings and help with their own boys and was flat told "NO I DONT HAVE TIME!" SO, I myself, asked them not to bring the boys back to the meetings. If YOU can't teach your child to behave and respect others then don't expect me or the other boys in teh den to be his punching bags. Normal or retarded.. Its not fair to the other kids. I have also had mentally handicapped children in the group that were VERY well behaved!! Its not the fact that the child was retarded that BSA, or in reality the leader in that den, could not deal with him and asked him not to come back.. it was his behavior and the parents lack of concern for the other childrens safety that got the child sent home.. I would have to agree with that decission to send thechild home and ask that he not return. 612319@blogcritics.org Wed, 18 Jul 2007 17:47:50 EDT
