I've never had contact with this child and have no idea how to handle him IF something came up. I had to follow after him and keep him directed at safe play the whole time he was there. Thankfully he didn't seem to mind. I let him stay about 45min before I made up my mind and marched him home by the hand. I told his father he was too young to come over and play at our house.
The father had NO idea he was at my house and he wasn't even looking for him, said thank you and please send home the older one. Totally blows me away. I don't understand parents today. |
Maybe the father expected them to be in the house. And at 3 years old, the parents are probably just finding out the child is autistic. They have no clue what they are in for and how to handle the child. They expect the kid to act the same as the 7 year old. Not a prayer. Before you folks start spouting off about calling CPS, give the parents a chance to handle the situation. It's not easy and they are in for a long hard road. Believe me.
