Everyday my daughter walks home, and she walks home with these 2 boys, she walks with her ex-boyfriend (there still in friendly terms) and her ex-boyfriends friend, they all walk together because there all going in the same direction, and he exs friend will spray her with a water bottle and say He's "Squirting on her" and he'll also say that he's getting her wet, when she tells him to stop getting him wet, Because it's 50°f outside.
What should I do?

What can I do next?

Tell her not to walk with them anymore. Who cares if they are going in the same direction? She needs to take a different route or walk on the other side of the street or wait a few minutes before waling home.

She might be on good terms with the ex, but the other guy is behaving inappropriately. So the best thing she can do is stay away from him,

If she has had a boyfriend, she's got to be in high school, right? Or at least in middle school?

So why have you not empowered her to speak up for herself and to refuse to walk with the obnoxious boy? Why have you not urged her to ask her friend why he associates with a kid who does this? Why have you not told her to stop walking with them?

50 degrees is irrelevant. People don't get sick from being wet. But that's not the point - this would be wrong if it were 80 degrees. She needs to stay at school until the problem boy heads home on his own, and if asked, she can tell the staff why it's not possible to walk with him. Her ex-boyfriend can decide which of them he values more.

If you go to the boy's parents with a complaint or a video, you won't be bolstering your daughter's own ability to stand up for herself. She needs to develop this skill. There's never been a better time for women and girls to stand up and say, "I'm not going to take this anymore." Point out plenty of great role models in the news right now. She has rights, and she has the right to not be touched or assaulted, even with water.

You don't say how old she is.

I'd tell her to avoid walking with them for starters and she can tell her ex why - if he's a true friend, he can tell buddy to smarten up. If he doesn't stand up for her, then she knows he's not that great a friend after all.

If that doesn't sort it out, then I'd be taking steps to talk to the boy/his parents/or make a complaint to the school. Your daughter doesn't need to deal with this. I'm assuming this is meant as a lewd remark.

How old is your daughter?
Is this elementary school or middle/high school?
Why isn't the ex boyfriend telling his friend he's being an idiot and he needs to quit it already and it's embarrassing him that his friend is acting like such a jackass?
I would have a talk with his parents about it.
If there are problems at school I'd talk with the principal about it.
If it continues then the police can have a word with him and his parents.

What should you do? Talk to your daughter and have her walk home by herself or with others. She doesn't need to put up with this. OR you pick her up everyday from school. Why don't she ride the bus?

Your daughter needs to stand up for herself. YOU need to talk to the parents of this thug and get them to acknowledge their son has a problem.

I'd worry that one day, he will escalate, and more than water will be sprayed on your daughter. Please document and get the school involved.

Pick your daughter up from school. Tell her NOT to walk with these boys anymore. They "ex" is NO friend.

How old is she? Is she a teenager? If so? She needs to really learn how to defend herself. This is off.

Simple... you pick her up after school... every day. Do not allow her to walk with these thugs. Her ex obviously doesn’t respect her enough to stick up for her and his so called friend is a jerk.

It's not what you should do, it's what your daughter should do. Your daughter should find a way to break the habit of walking with these boys. She needs to be busy and get into a new routine getting home from school. She can stay after school to do her homework in the library for an hour, or 30 minutes, and take a slightly different route home, make plans to go to a coffee shop with a girlfriend after school (not in the same direction), get picked up by you "for an appointment," join an after school club, get a part time job after school that takes her another direction, take the bus, find a ride with a different friend, whatever works. Eventually, people move on once routines are broken. The boys will move on from their idiotic behavior too once your daughter demonstrates that she has no time for this nonsense

Their behavior is intolerable, and I say "their" because her ex-boyfriend just sits back and allows this to happen, so he is complicit and an enabler. It'd be one thing if this had happened once and the ex was caught off-guard without time to respond, but your post makes it sound like this is a constant occurrence. I wouldn't be surprised if he laughs along. This is a form of bullying, if you think about it.

A gentlemanly young man would put a stop to this, tell their friend to quit acting like a child or he isn't welcome to walk home with him and his ex-girlfriend. I believe a friend would do this too. I know I would speak up and put an end to this if someone were abusing my friend like that. Seems to me like neither of those boys are truly her friends and have no respect for her. She should either walk home with other people, alone, or someone from her household should pick her up.

You need to talk with your daughter about standing up for herself.

She needs to understand that her "ex" is NOT helping her. He is enabling his "friend" and not standing up like a REAL FRIEND should.

You have a few options:
She walks alone
She walks with other REAL friends
YOU pick her up from school.
If there's a bus, she takes the bus, either public school or public transportation.

answers from Washington DC on

how old is she?
why is she walking home with a boy who is gross and a boy who doesn't help her stand up for herself?
she should let the school know. they are not responsible for his behavior off school grounds, but they should be alerted as he's probably also being inappropriate at school.
then she should walk home by herself or with better friends.
