he wont tell us where he lives, and he is out all hours of the day and night. We dont let him come in the house but we do let caleb outside to play with him in our yard only!
the other mothers here told me last year they were all going to get together and follow him home to talk to his parents about how come he is out all hours..they were not even sure how he was getting fed in the summer...

isnt that awful....

Anthony275 replied: do you know his name? maybe you can call everybody on your street asking if he's their child?

AlexsPajamaMama replied: that is a bit odd

mckayleesmom replied: I would call the police the next time he shows up at an hour when a kid should be at home.

boyohboyohboy replied: I dont know his last name. i only know his first name because i heard one of the little kids in the neighborhood call him. thats when the mom next door told me about him.
he is kind of an obnoxious kid, I do think he has some mental issues,. but there is no way his parents know where he is or what he is doing.
i mean what if we had let him come in to the house, his parents wouldnt know.

sparkys2boys replied: Hmm, very strage. Ya know, I would careful about letting him into the house also and maybe until you know more about letting your kids play with him even in the yard. Why does he tell you that he can't say where he lives??

mommy~to~a~bunch replied: How sad. That poor child. I'm not sure what I'd do.

A&A'smommy replied: hmmmm thats insane, I think calling dhr would be a good idea!!

redchief replied: I'd have followed him home a long time ago. Then I would have introduced myself to his parents. What I'd have done afterward would have depended upon the reaction I received from the parent.

I agree.

msoulz replied:
Indeed - I would send DH with him because some people are scary and they are likely to be less scary to a man than a woman with her other kids, KWIM?

Calimama replied:
I agree!!

How sad!!

boyohboyohboy replied:
he honestly just seems like a strange little kid. i dont know, when i asked caleb what they talk about it, its all just boy stuff, hiding and pretend guns. nothing bad.
and he is nice enough.
he is the only one here that is calebs age. i keep a close eye on them when they are together.
maybe he know that people have called cps on him thats why he doesnt want people to know his name or where he lives?
i think this community has been here for 2yrs so the neighbors have known him that long.
we have been here two months.
that isnt something i am prepared to get involved in right now.
we dont let him in, and we keep a watch on our kids...
