No, I don't know her parents but I don't think they're upset about it either. The next day the tattooed one was showing off her tat at school when the teacher sent her to the "office" where she was told that she was not allowed to show or display her tattoo while at school.

Good. Wonder what her parents will have to say about that.

..good choice on that, mine would have been the same. Unfortunately the school can't interview the chaperones and you just never know what kind of person your kid will be with. Had this happened to me I would have to call the parent and ask him why he allowed it.

Do you know the parent of the girl? Perhaps they know one another and her parents didn't even care, you never know.

I don't see how the chaperone should be held responsible for this... let's take it to the other extreme... what if your child's chaperone was a vegetarian and wouldn't let your child chose a meat selection for their lunch purchase because he/she felt strongly that meat is bad...:rolleyes: The chaperone is responsible for the child's safety and well-being.... the purchase and application of the temporary tattoo harmed neither.

So long as that vegetarian meal was consumed at a "child appropriate" restaurant and not say Hooters or a shake-shake bar, I'm okay with it. BTW, its not the purchase and application of the temporary tattoo that I find objectionable.

Then your objection was with her chosing "naughty girl" right? There were no curse words, no drug references, etc. If my daughter came home with that tattoo, it would certainly be a lesson in where I draw the line at acceptable/unacceptable. However, I don't hold a chaperone responsible for educating the 10 year old girl on what is or isn't tactful. That responsibility falls on the shoulders of the parents. It doesn't sound like the parents had any issue with her choice.

Yes, as stated previously, my objection is to the content and connotation associated with the “naughty girl & red lip kiss imprint” tattoo on a 10 y/o girl. However, had I been the chaperone of this little girl, I would not have allowed her to get it on my watch even if I knew she came from a tattoo-friendly family.

What if the chaperone was muslim and forced all the students to pray on a mat at high noon with him?

Because he's the chaperone and responsible party. You can't expect a 10 year old kid to be the responsible one, otherwise why bother having parents tag along at all?

I think he should have made a simple call to the parents. I know if it were my kid, I'd have had a talk with the teacher about what exactly constitutes "chaperoning", and decided from there whether my kid would be allowed to go in the future.

But it's not like he let the girl do something that would endanger her. It's a washable tat, and if her parents really didn't like it they could have washed it off lickity-split with soap and water.

Some parents would object to duct-taping doors shut. :whistle:

Wasn't this a Henna tat? Those aren't quite as easily washed as you're making it out to be...I don't think.

So its okay to let the child do whatever on your watch as long as it doesn’t endanger them? Well then they could have all watched a skin-flick on the portable dvd player while on the bus to and from Baltimore, no endangerment there.

It was a henna tat and she was told it would last 2 to 3 months.

I'd be pissed. I'd be pissed that they allowed the child to get a fake tat w/out parental permission. Doesn't really matter what it says. There are parents who will not want a fake tat on their child no matter what it is of. I was one of those. I slacked up when my son was given Boots from Dora tats. But, if my child came home with one that said "Naughty Girl" on it I'd flip out.

:rolleyes: Oh good grief! Don't make up stupid stuff. My point is, if parents don't trust chaperones, then THEY should chaperone. :yay: You're getting all worked up and it wasn't even your child!

Did I miss you saying it was henna before? You made it sound like one of those sticker-like ones you wet and put on.

I purposely didn't mention the type of temporary tattoo it was. Apparently you can get henna tats off with nail polish remover, so I'm told. I don't know pcjhonny but he must know the school and/or child I'm referring to or, he made a really good guess.

He's 19 and the youngest of 2 siblings, so I doubt it.

I guess I just assumed :shrug:
I didn't think anyone would have an issue with those little "sticker" tats that last 2 days :lol: They can just be scrubbed really hard if you want it gone :shrug:

Ha, I didn't even notice your typo SG, just :fixed: it :yay: :lol:
