Ok.
I need some ideas.
How do you explain to a six year old about murderers & rapists without causing psycological damage??
I wandered off to the bus stop this afternoon to pick DD1 up, to be told by another child 'She went with Lydia.'
I looked at the bus driver. 'She got off at a friends house.' Then told me the friends first & last name.
I had no idea who it was or anything about them, let alone where they lived!! When I said this to the bus driver he was suprised!
Needless to say I was furious!

Thankfully I have our home number on Jaz's bag, even though I wasn't there & when the friends mum couldn't get onto me she rang the school as I think she was just as scared about the whole thing as me!
DH was on the phone to the school when I got home. They were trying to let me know what had happened.
Once she was home I grounded her (first time ever) & tried to explain why she can't do that.
Problem is that she is 6. Way too young & innocent to have any idea about what the world can be like.
When I said she could've been dead all she said to me was 'but I'm a kid, I can't die. I'm not old.'
She thinks we will all die in order of age. Dad first DS last.

I rang the bus company to complain to be told that this has to come back on Jaz too - ??? I assured him that she was grounded & in rouble, but really!
Kids manipulate people every day to get their own way. Are they really that ignorant?
I've told him that Jaz won't be on the bus again. Apparently the same driver has had more than one complaint about the same thing. One only yesterday.
