Where are you, 'Jack's' parents? Don't get me wrong, this boy is quite nice, but I have never met you and you have never met me, yet you think it's fine for Jack to have a sleepover at my house even though I don't even have your contact details?

My 9-yr-old has his mate from school sleeping over, and an extra kid has turned up expecting to participate in the party. This kid has his sleeping bag and toothbrush but I've never met him or his parents before and I don't have any contact details. What happens if he has an allergic reaction to something or wants to go home or breaks an arm? Or, seriously, what if I'm just not a good person for this kid to be around? How would they know? Geez some people are weird.

Oh dear!

Can you ring or sms some other parents to see if anyone else knows him or his family?

[Back2Insanity]

Did he turn up with the mate or just randomly?

[Bacongirl]

Ask the kid for his phone number. Ring the parents.


Just because he's at your house with toothbrush and sleeping bag, does not mean they know he is at your house!

I am surprised you have accepted that.

How did he get to your placed

[SCARFACE CLAW]

WTF? Surely a 9 year old knows his parents' phone number?

[Jemstar]

Is it possible that his parents don't know where he's gone? At 9 surely he knows his own address/phone number? I would definitely try and get the details and contact the parents.

And actually, this is probably petty but why are you targeting his mother in your thread title? most kids have two parents and it is not just the mother who bears the brunt of the responsibility of knowing where her offspring are.

My nine year old knows his home phone number. Can't you ask the boy to ring his parents so you can speak to them?

Wow - some parents!! So how did jack get to your house? Did they just drop him off out the front . Is he actually a friend of your son?

[Bek+3]
