awkward teen or future sex offender?

[EagleFan]

My daughter told me about a boy that she belives has a crush on her. She is only 10 and seemed to not really care about it, she seemed to find it amusing at best.

Today I come home from work to find that he is following her, my other daughter and their friends around. He is 13.

Then I see that he tries to hug my daughter when she is about to come in for dinner. She ducks away and he keeps trying. I step in and put a stop to it. He says there is nothing wrong with that. I tell him that he is 13 and should have better things to do than trying to make moves on 10 year old girls.

He still doesn't get it and tries to get around me to attempt to hug her again. All the while she is telling him no.

Now I am super pissed and tell him that when a woman says no he better stop and go away. That if I tried making moves on 10 year old girls when I was his age I would be the joke of the class and would most likely get my ass kicked by someone's older brother or friend's older brother. Also that I better not see him around my daughters again.

He ran away and my daughters' friends thanked me as he was bothering them all. I then find out that he kept trying to hold hands with the younger girls that were out playing too, as young as 7.

I am wondering and a little worried that this kid isn't just an annoyance but potentially bigger problem.

Am I just paranoid?

[JonInMiddleGA]

Sounds either pretty emotionally/developmentally stunted or possibly something more sinister.

Thing is, that possibility is plenty legitimate enough reason for concern, extremely careful monitoring, and if it doesn't show immediate signs of stopping some proactive steps to put an end to it. Whether that's through his parents, law enforcement, maybe even the school system (I'd question dtr & friends about his behavior there if they're even in the same school) not a situation I'd let linger for very long at all.

[stevew]

I'd wager an amount of money that he's been abused already. Watch out for this kid.

[stevew]

dola-

I'd be especially concerned if his name was Maurice Lester.

[Izulde]

I'd wager an amount of money that he's been abused already. Watch out for this kid.

That's the first thing that sprung to mind.

I agree, something isn't right developmentally with him. That's an 8th grader going for a 5th grader. Huge gap in age and there shouldn't be any interest. Did he seem slow mentally?

In any event, I'd probably contact someone. The school seems like a logical choice as they may have more information on the kid's mental state and could monitor his behavior closely. Even the kids parents would be a choice although results could vary. I don't know if you have to be over-the-top about it, but point out that something didn't seem right and you think they should look into it and/or talk to him. I'd also tell your daughter that if he comes around them again she is to either come home or tell an adult she trusts.

Maybe I'm paranoid too, but it's not something I'd let go of. Kids that age can do bad things and this guy doesn't seem to be mentally on the same level as his peers. My thoughts are to nip this in the bud before anything more serious comes of it. Even if your daughter has no contact with him, he's likely to pull this stuff with someone else's.

[Swaggs]

Based on the fact that he continued his behavior even after you were present and told him it was inappropriate, I would guess that he has some developmental delays and may even have some level of retardation. His actions (based on his focus, even with you within proximity) almost sound as if someone else may have suggested or dared him to try to hug your daughter.

I'd be hesitant to label him in sex offender territory, at this point. But, I would definitely try to find out more information about him and try to see if you can get to a parent/teacher/family member that can explain to him that, as he gets older, it is not alright to chase girls around and try to hug them.

I think you guys are reading way too much into this...

1. Boy is unable to relate to girls his age so he's trying with girls younger so he can be "superior".

2. Doesn't get told no a lot at home and/or when he does it is not followed through on at all and so when you told him stop he didn't understand you were serious.

3. You should contact the parents in my opinion to discuss the matter. The school isn't going to give you any information, nor should they if they don't want to open a can of worms.

[Autumn]

JiMGA echoes my thoughts here, it's worrisome enough to keep a close eye on. Kid may just be emotionally stunted, but best case scenario is he's apparently incapable of taking no for an answer. If he acted like that, with an adult around, he's certainly not someone I'd want around my kids. And that's the best case. Speaking with the parents would be a good idea, they may not realize what's going on with him when they're not there.

[ColtCrazy]

I had a student this fall that did similar things. He was in trouble at recess for trying to hug or kiss the girls. Sometimes it was girls in my class, sometimes it was girls 2-3 years young than him. He was developmentally behind and came from a very sheltered home life. I would guess, based on my experienced that it's that or there's an abuse problem going on. There's no way to know for show which it is just from observation, but each year I've had kids that are simply socially awkward, NONE have ever acted like that.

There's enough there to know that something isn't right. As a parent, I think you are right to step in and keep an eye on it. As a teacher, if they go to the same school, I would let them know if the problem persists.

[Rizon]

Something's off with the kid and I'd consider him a danger. Contact the school first, but realize they probably won't want the liability and not want to deal with it. The parents will just pull the "not my kid!" card if you tell them, but these are steps the police will want you take first.

I would agree with you, I'm interested to know his level of cognitive ability. However, your concerns are valid either way.

[EagleFan]

He doesn;t go to the same school. Kay is actually in herr last year at her school before moving up to the school that he is at now, though when she moves up he will be moved up to high school.

I got more information and it sounds like he basically just started showing up. She had no idea who he was prior to the last couple weeks. I thought it was a harmless crush early on but thought it was a different kid that she was talking about, one that is her age.

I can't even comprehend how he tried it again with me standing right there and telling him not to. That's just something that you don't do. When I was younger and in relationships with girls my age I didn't even try to initiate physical contact with them with the parents were around, and that was with a relationship that was accepted.

No one know where this kid lives at the moment. I will definitely follow him back home if he comes around again and try to talk to the parents. I see that either going extremely bad for the kid or turning into something that is going to really piss me off (if the parents have the same, what's wrong with it attitude).

Glad to hear that the consensus isn't that I am over-reacting. Hopefully there isn't much more to the story but I doubt that at the moment.

[EagleFan]

Oh, as far as my initial judgement of the kid, he doesn't seem to be slow or retarded. If seeing him outside of this situation my first opinion would probably just bee awkward 13 year old.

[Autumn]

No, no way that's an overreaction. You're sending a great signal to your daughter about what is appropriate, and that people will stand up against inappropriate behavior.

[Ksyrup]

Yeah, I'd be doing the same thing if I was you. And with 11 and 7-year old girls at home, I'll be interested to see how you handle it and what results.

Then again, my 11 year old is 5'5", 145 lbs., so she could probably handle the situation just fine!

[Lathum]

I think you are totaly right to at least be a little worried. Something doesn't seem right, as others have mentioned, his blatent disregard for your demands to leave her alone as her father would worry the fuck out of me. If he shows up around her and there isn't an adult around she should go somewhere there are adults asap and contact you or a trusted adult. If he behaves that way when you are around I would be worried about his behavior when you aren't around.

[Lathum]

dola- I would love to hear what 27 has to say about it.

[Ksyrup]

I was thinking the same thing.

[Julio Riddols]

What about Aspergers?

[Matthean]

When I was 10 I had a crush on a girl who was 7, but it took some time before we were even friends, and even more before she knew I liked her. She eventually moved away before there was much chance of us dating since she moved when she was 14.

The issue with the boy does need to be handled, since it will only get worse. He's obviously crossing the line when he's been told to stop it. Me being me, I would have a sit down talk with him and just let him know that it's unacceptable and if this were to continue on, there that's were the wrath of God comes in. :lol:

[Alan T]

I showed your original post to my wife, a school psychologist.

Her comments were without knowing the kid, that its obvious that he doesn't understand social boundaries. The cause for it could be one of many things though, and harder for anyone to pinpoint without actually spending time with the kid. Her list were similar to what I saw others posted in this thread though, but her first comments were that it could be:

-Aspergers or some mild form of autism
- Sign of possibly being molested himself
- sign of some form of cognitive delay

Either way, her suggestion is for you to bring your concern to the kid's parents.

[molson]

I'd be a lot less concerned about diagnosing him then i'd be about just keeping him the hell away from my daughter.

[JediKooter]

Definitely no over reaction. Having two step daughters go from elementary to high school, that is not normal behavior coming from that boy.

There's a difference between the kid being rude and the kid acting like a starving animal trying to get around a barrier to get to some food. I highly recommend not letting this fester.

[Sun Tzu]

At least he's not trying to hug/kiss 7 year old boys. Right comrades? Right?

[Suicane75]

Don't be racist.

I'd be having a word with the kids father and/or mother toot sweet.

[tyketime]

I'd be a lot less concerned about diagnosing him then i'd be about just keeping him the hell away from my daughter.
That's gotta be my first reaction too...

[stevew]

He definitely won't be a Priest at that rate

[M GO BLUE!!!]

I got this image in my head of her ducking the boy & him staggering around like Frankenstein. Then when Eaglefan tries to grab the kid, the kid ducks him & Eaglefan keeps saying "come here, you" & staggering around like Frankenstein.

[EagleFan]

Update: He came around again tonight. I was watching out while my daughter was outside playing with her friend. I went out to talk to him and told him that I didn't want him around my daughter, or any of the other kids in the area, again.

His response was "why?"

I told him because he was 13 and she was 10, it was inappropriate.

He still didn't understand why. I told him straight out that I would speak with his parents if he got near her again.

At that point he started saying he was sorry and backed away.

He began to walk around behind the houses on the other side of the street (opposite direction from where he lives and towards my daughter's friend's house). I walked down to the front of my daughter's friend's house, where they ran when they saw he was coming to talk to them and to let them know he was walking around behind the houses on the path back there.

We walked around behind he house and he started to panic when he saw me "I'm going to a friend's house..." and he ran into the woods.

I talked to my daughter's friend's mother to warn her about this kid. She didn't seem happy when she heard how old he was as she had seen him handing around with her kids too. I gave her his nam and address information and let her know that I told the kids that they should come to one of us parents if he comes around again.

I saw him come back around, going home but he stopped and started looking around. Once I opened the door and stepped outside he took off in the direction of his house yelling "I'm just going home."

I took my daughters to Dairy Queen and then found out some more disturbing information. He wasn't just trying to hold my the hand of one of the 7 year old girls they were playing with but tried to put his arms around my youngest daughter (also 7). He even tried to get my daughter's friend's 5 year old brother to come into the woods with him.


This kid is definitely not right. I am going to sit down with my daughter's friend's parents to discuss what we should do about this kid. I think we all need to pay his parents a visit to discuss it with them.

[JonInMiddleGA]

I think we all need to pay his parents a visit to discuss it with them.

With pitchforks & torches if need be.

[stevew]

It is good that your kids are open and aware of this stuff. Dealing with his parent(s) is going to be a nightmare. Just make sure to get plenty of backup from other parents.

[Noop]

Something is wrong with that kid. That type of behavior happens at home more often then not.

[MizzouRah]

I'm almost thinking his parents might be even more disturbing.

[Rizon]

We walked around behind he house and he started to panic when he saw me "I'm going to a friend's house..." and he ran into the woods.

Probably back to his shrine of slaughtered neighborhood cats.

Time to call the police.

[Rizon]

Maybe at the very least take a trip out to the woods to see what's out there. If it's slaughtered cats and mice, then kid is psycho. If it's like a fort with non-aggressive drawings, then kid is probably just really, really, really, really awkward.

Probably take someone with you and tell someone where you are going, just in case you end up being part of the shrine.

[EagleFan]

I'm almost thinking his parents might be even more disturbing.

That's the thought I keep coming back to. That it is going to get worse before it gets better.

Hopefully they just don't know how inappropriate he is getting and have their heads in the sand and hearing what he is doing will open their eyes... I can hope at least.

[illinifan999]

He even tried to get my daughter's friend's 5 year old brother to come into the woods with him.



This is a worrisome sign to me.

[RainMaker]

At this point, it's probably time to bring in the police. You have given him multiple warnings and he doesn't seem to care. If not now, then the next time you see him in the neighborhood trying to contact your daughter or other young children. I guess going to his parents works too, but that's honestly not your problem. He either suffers from some developmental issues which need to be brought to life and treated, or he's an incredibly bold 13-year old who has zero respect for authority and an attraction toward young kids. Either way, something is definitely wrong in this situation and the fact he is blatantly ignoring your threats is the worst part.

Not sure what the cops could do, but perhaps a police car showing up at their door and a strong threat from the police will cause him to keep to himself and leave the young kids alone. Or for his parents to get him into some sort of mental health program. And this probably goes without saying, but I'd have an eye on my daughter like a hawk till it's all sorted out.

Good luck EF.. maybe his parents are down to earth?

It just doesn't seem like he has a stable home life though.

[molson]

I've heard enough - I'm going with "awkward future sex offender"

[DaddyTorgo]

Damn - keep us posted on this.

At the very least, it'll start a paper trail on the kid. God forbid something happen, but at least they would know a pretty good place to start.

[Ksyrup]

If I was in this situation, I'd probably go to the parents first and see what their reaction is. Reason being, getting the cops involved when the parents may not honestly know of the problem, or at least the extent of it, could cause them to react more at the cops being called than the true problem and escalate things for you, not just your kids. Calling the cops seems more like a "next step" than a "first step" to me - unless there was real evidence that someone was in immediate danger.

Now, if the parents get angry and defensive and act like nothing's wrong and you're misinterpreting things, etc., then I'd call the cops to explain the situation. But at least you gave them a chance to deal with it first.

[Blackadar]

What Ksyrup said.

[fantom1979]

It takes a village to raise a child..... so feel free to remove your belt and make it so he can't sit for a couple of days.

[Danny]

I am also a school psychologist (or will be after the summer and I get a job) and everything you posted sounds very worrisome and more than just social awkwardness. I don't get the feeling of a significant developmental delay or autism from what you described. Also, around the age of 13 is a common age for signs of emotional disturbance to really start manifesting. I would definitely contact his parents and the school psychologist from his school as well. They won't (and shouldn't) give you any info, but if he/she does his job, they would at least look into the situation by talking with his teachers, parents, etc... and will be better equipped to potentially help this kid (and the other kids he potentially could endanger).

Again, I would contact the school psychologist specifically. While they may shrug it off, there is a much better chance they look into it then if you talk to an administrator.

Keep in mind this is from what you described and is based off limited info.

[Danny]

It takes a village to raise a child..... so feel free to remove your belt and make it so he can't sit for a couple of days.

Oh, and I figure this is a joke, but this is obviously terrible advice.

[johnnyshaka]

As a father of two little girls I am not looking forward to this sort of shit. Neighbourhood kids is one thing (because you can witness it personally and deal with it) but when they are at school and you have to trust that they, the staff at school, are paying attention to what's going on...man, that is going to be tough.

Please keep us in the loop as I'd be curious to know how this gets resolved and what the parents of your daughter's friend think as well as the offender's parents think.

[tarcone]

Aspergers was my 1st reaction. Sounds like some of the kids at my school.

Call his parents.

[JediKooter]

Unless he has a shrine of dead animals in the woods...then I'm going with psychopath.

I always thought that animal mutilation and killing was an early warning sign of serial killers. Yea, this is something I would not put off at all and the school he goes to should be contacted as well as his parents and probably the police.

[Ben E Lou]

Maybe it's the "former youth worker" in me coming out, but I do see dual responsibilities here.

1. FIRST AND FOREMOST, AND HIGHEST PRIORITY: Protect your kids (and other kids) from a likely dangerous kid.

2. SECONDARY PRIORITY, BUT IMPORTANT: Make sure this young man is getting help.


As has been mentioned several times, this sort of stuff rarely happens in a vacuum. Either he has a disorder (treated or untreated) or there are significant problems in his life, likely at home. If it's the former, the parents will appreciate you coming to them and either explain the situation or get him help. If it's the latter, you'll likely sense resentment in you getting involved. If there's any hint of that, I'd call the police *and* CPS.

Of course, there's always the possibility that his dad is a truly evil and diabolical child molester who will smile, nod, and thank you for coming, promise to get him help, then continue molesting him. So maybe the police/CPS route might be good regardless of the reaction. *shurg*

[JonInMiddleGA]

So maybe the police/CPS route might be good regardless of the reaction.

This really highlights something that frustrates me in situations like these ... we typically really don't know what the "right" answer is.

There are several options, probably best exercised in combination with each other, but as a parent or even just a concerned bystander situations like this don't seem to frequently offer a slamdunk obvious choice.

I'm uncomfortable with so much gray in a situation where the stakes have the potential to be so high, not sure what can be done about that - I mean, this discussion has folks who are pretty clearly above the curve in education, general intelligence, etc ... and we can't be absolutely definitive in what path we'd take personally much less be definitive from long distance.

Again, dunno what can be done to change that, but it frustrates me nevertheless.

[Alan T]

Well, I think in a sense, Eaglefan has already done part of the right first steps. Making sure his kids are protected, by watching out for this kid and providing interference for that kid interacting with his kids. As well as warning the parents of the kids who are friends with his. Alerting them to be cautious will go an extra step in helping his kids be safe when over at their place.

So for first steps of protection, I think those were good steps. However the kid obviously does need help, and the comments to go to his parents first make the most sense as a starting step. If the result of that step didn't happen as wished, good next steps would be to talk to that kid's school psychologist, or his kid's school psychologist. If his kids went to the same school as that kid, the school psychologist would be able to set up some form of safe zone if there is a concern about that kid's interaction with his kids. Since he said they went to different schools, there might not be as much that can be done with that, but the school Psychologist usually will want to look further into a distressing report like that even if they can't share any further information with Eaglefan.

Finally for a third step, there is the public safety aspect of things. If Eaglefan can not provide proper protection for his kids, the police are definitely an option, and when it comes to kids, they likely would bring in CPS as well. I don't think this step is as promising in getting that kid help though as the other two steps before it, but if Eaglefan's kids are in danger beyond the protection he can provide, then he has to obviously think of their safety first. Hopefully though the kid can get help before it gets to a police stage of things.

[Julio Riddols]

To me it seems like theres a pretty clear cut checklist here.

1. Talk to the parents of the kid first and foremost ASAP. Get a sense of how they react and of their awareness of the situation. Without being a dick, explain your concern and see how that is received.

2: If the kids parents are receptive of your concern and seem to want to take care of this issue, give it a little time and see if the behavior continues before going to step 3.

3: If the parents are not receptive of your concern, or if the behavior continues, speak with other parents in the neighborhood to get their perspective on the situation and gather any more evidence they might be able to provide regarding their own experiences with the boy. This will also make them aware of the situation if they were not already so that they can take preventive steps regarding their own children.

4: Using all the information you have from the conversation with the boys parents as well as the other neighborhood parents, contact CPS and see what they recommend to do. Maybe they already have some information about that family due to prior issues, maybe not. Either way, I am sure they can help with deciding your next course of action.

5: If the situation escalates before things can be addressed through any of the above, contact the police and go from there.

[Danny]

This is where my thoughts are.

Aspergers was my 1st reaction. Sounds like some of the kids at my school.

Again it's limited info, but from Ef's description of their interactions after his initial post, I am not sure about this. The kid seemed to read Ef's behavior in a way an aspregers kid would probably have difficulty doing (is ef just opening his door and the kid starting to hurry and yell about going home already)

[Eaglesfan27]

Been so busy, I am just catching up on this thread. At first when I read the thread, I was thinking autism or MR. Now, that I have read further, I am thinking this kid has a more sinister problem. Either way, my first step would be to approach the parents and discuss it with them. Contacting school officials isn't a bad idea either, but due to privacy issues they won't be able to reveal anything to you. The only purpose there would be to warn others about this kid's behavior.

[Eaglesfan27]

Dola -

I'm in agreement with Ben that Child Protective Services/Police likely will need to be involved as well.

[DaddyTorgo]

Zoinks. If EF says that you know it's serious.

[EagleFan]

Quiet day today. No sign of the kid today. Will work on talking to the parents tomorrow.

[Flasch186]

tooooooo quiet.

Danny might be an expert in this field, but I have to disagree.

Belt. Ass. Now.

;)

[Suicane75]

I mean........You do realize you can't go around beating other peoples children right?

[PilotMan]

There are certainly a lot of red flags here. The one that sticks out for me is that if he considers this behavior normal, what kind of behavior goes on in his house that he is exposed to? I wouldn't be expecting a whole lot with his parents. There are some abuse flags here, meaning I think he has been abused/could be abusive. If the parents are hiding anything they are going to be concerned and all on your side and the kid is going to pay the price after you leave. That's not really your problem, but you certainly have a lot to go on if you decided to go the CPS route.

I am with Ben on this one, you have to protect your own, and those around you. You have to have those eye's in the back of your head at all times. This could certainly has something going on. His failure to understand boundaries and testing you, right in front of you are big warning signs that something is wrong with his decision making tree in his head. Watch out!

[Rizon]

Trust no one when it comes to your kids. Obvious exceptions would be Grandparent and family.

It's actually been quiet since I had a word with him and his family. He hasn;t been spotted by any of the girls that live in the area.

I checked out the spot in the woods and it looks like he was climbing a tree. There are some windows that he could probably see into from there. Luckily none would be my daughter's.

I am hoping that it stays quiet. His mother seemed to have a level head about it; his father not so much.
