  • naw, not a good idea. Let her babysit for someone else. That person is trouble and might change the course of your daughters life forever....
  • I would talk to my daughter first and make sure she wasnt exagerating to her friends, then I would go see the neighbour and tell her exactly why my daughter would not babysit again.
  • Cut your daughters contact with this person with a finality that brooks no misunderstanding or ambiguity. Bad influences abound these days, keep them away from your children.
  • Truthfully, I wouldnt even allow my 14yr old to babysit a neighbours kid unless it was in my own home. I certainly wouldnt entrust my own kids to a neighbour (let alone a n's kid)unless I have known them for years. I guess I'm just paranoid that way. Take you daughter by the hand and sit her down for a mother/daughter heart to heart. Dont freak or threaten, it wont help. Hopefully she was exaggerating on the net. But you need to be sure how you should confront your neighbour if at all. If true isnt your neighbour breaking the law somehow by "contributing to the deliquency of a minor"? Cheers
  • I would set the child down in front of this person so that we could get the story straight. Then I would explain to the both of them that it is illegal and that the cops would be involved if it ever happened again. I would then take the child home and take away privledges for quite some time.
