There is a 'developmentally disabled' boy on our block. I've never seen him around until just this spring. He's not 100% but it's pretty obvious.
Just over the long weekend he's taken to Michael. This is an 11yr old boy who has decided he wants to buddy up with my 3yr old son. He comes to the door.. asks where 'the little guy' is and if he can come out and ride bikes. I let it go the first day or so but it's just not right.. not to mention this boy does not have any supervision and is a bad example (caught this boy riding his bike in the street saying 'hit me please!!' trying to be funny.. but no).
Anyway..I've been coming up with reasons.. we're going to the store.. we're going to the park.. it's dinner time.. etc.. this kid is now somewhat stalking my lil guy wanting to play cops with him. I don't know where he lives. My husband thinks he knows and if he's right it would be from a house where 3 older guys live (maybe he is a son of a divorcee?).
I don't know how to nip this in the bud and be 'politically correct' about it.
I don't want (and at this point won't let) my 3 yr old around him and he's really pushing himself on us
What would you do?
Do I really need to just be totally blunt? I'd feel so bad.
