What Would You Do If Someone Slandered Your 7 Yr Old on Facebook All Because He

You can flag her comments as inappropriate on FB and they will remove the comments and probably her membership. If you cannot find the link for flagging inapropriate content, e-mail FB and let them know the situation.

Yes, ma'am...I'm with Stephanie B....If I were you I would take this as a warning! We don't need toxic ppl around our children...If you've had a child that was adopted (how I understood what you were saying) You obviously know what a precious and impressionable gift the children are. If her child is in DFS custody, she is probably learning new boundaries and how to protect her child properly. Don't hate...it's a hard thing to learn. I say cut your losses (doesn't sound like much of one) and go on before something REALLY ugly happens!

Your son is only 7, does not understand yet what he said. When my son what that age he went over to a child and felt his hair. I asked him why he did that he siad he had never seen hair like that before. The other child had an affro, his mom and I laughed.
I see lots of drams with this person so just block her out. But you can report her for saying horrible things about a child who is underage. Its really inappropriate of her. Your just so much better off stealing clear of her.

Well...it really shows you what kind of person she is. I'd get her out of your life and fast. Just quit talking to them or confront her and tell her straight up like it is, that you can't believe she'd stoop so low as to do something that immature and that she needs to stay away from your family. I just can't deal with senseless drama like that and neither should you.

I'm sorry that you have to deal with a situation like this. It's pretty crazy and the story's a little hard to follow there's so much going on!
Thankfully, I haven't dealt with something like this (hopefully, noone else has to either), but your son sounds just like mine. I have an eight year old who has Sensory Processing Disorder (if you haven't already, check out this awesome, informative website sensory-processing-disorder.com and direct family and friends to it to help them understand your son more), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, anxiety, and symptoms of ADHD. So, I do understand how frustrating it is to socialize with other people (whether they do or don't have children - although it's more of a challenge when there are other kids involved) when you have a child that has special needs. The only thing I can tell you is to be totally open and honest about his issues at the start of and throughout any relationships or people you associate with, so they fully understand where you and your child are coming from and don't judge you so easily. If someone is not understanding or willing to accept that their are legitimate problems, then you don't need to spend time with them. Use your motherly instincts to keep your children and family protected.
Concerning the chaos that has already occurred, all I can say is to pray!! Pray that they get the help they need and that your family will not suffer any further from the slander and bad relationship. Pray that your family and children will be protected from that and from future hurt. Definitely, cut ties and don't keep adding to the fire by speaking or associating with them. Choose to forgive her and pray for her, so you can feel better and move past it. If you really feel the need to respond to her at all (I'm not sure that you should), I recommend messaging her, very simply saying that you were hurt, but forgive her and will pray for her, but will no longer put your family and children in harms way by continuing any relations with her and will be deleting her from your networks and not accept any further correspondence from her. So her words will no longer hurt any of you and if she continues to talk about young children in that way, I really think she's hurting herself. Someone who would talk like that doesn't make themselves look like a good person and I'm sure other people who heard or read her words realize that. She set herself up really!
As far as finding friends for your family, search online for groups or look for other parents/families who have similar situations/special needs and would be understanding and supportive (maybe put a request out right here on Mamapedia). God bless!

Hi Susana This lady had no right putting this on the internet about a child. She doesn't know what he'll grow up to be. Not to mention the fact that no parent knows( no matter how well their children have been reared) how they're going to turn out. Personally I think this friendship with her will never be the same. Find yourself another friend.

I think that sort of thing is prohibited on Facebook - contact Facebook & say it's regarding offensive content. I would also contact the non-emergency police & ask about legal options.

When you have children with special needs, is when you find out who your true friends are. I am a mother with 2 children of special needs myself. When I found out my second child was Bipolar. I was so scared as to what other people think. But as time goes on true friends support and understand. You may just break that realationship off and move forward. This is tought to do I know.

You could call her out on it. Put something on your fb page about what she did. And no, it doesn't have to mean. Usually when people like this are called out on their behavior they are likely to stop being that way(to you anyways!)

Too much drama is right! Stay away.
But also watch what you say around your children. You said he's never had black friends but ANYONE can see that black people aren't black. Someone near your son has used the term "black people" and that's not sending the right message. My children are Native American, caucasian, hispanic and chinese and my husband and I never talk about people by their race because I know my kids will catch on.
You don't need to around stuff like that and neither do your children!

i would tell her how inapprop her facebook comment is, and i don't think i could be friends with her. i guess you can look at "i don't share w/black kids" much at that age with "i don't share with boys" but i think she took it much more to heart

Personally, I would not even bother with giving her the satisfaction of a conversation. I would leave her with her evil ways and focus on my family. You have enough to take care of with your children that need special attention, so give them the extra attention that you would otherwise give her. Leave all of this drama......

Well, you could probably take her to court for the slander and I believe that is slander, but seriously, I don't have time or the patients for people like that. I believe in...Like me? Cool! You don't? Then...off! Yes, why invite you back over if only to carry on further? Let it go...let her go. She is not your friend and never expose your children to people who can't understand them.

If you have brought your child up to be "we are all part of the human race" I would sit down and discuss with your friend that chikdren are on the whole withour guile and are tactless they just say without thinking with no hidden agenda and you should both grow up and show by example that you both do not put any labels on anyone your children will them see and follow example , both of you should stop be so touchy and put one childish remark into perspective.

To be honest, you two have carried this too far. You have forgotten this are just kids. The race thing is in all your minds and this issue just brought it out.

If you carry on the way both of you are doing, what do you expect your children to think and do in ten years time?

Stop this straight away and be good examples to your children. Show them forgiveness and reconcillation, so that they can be friends again. I am sure they do not understand what both families are on about.
Sometimes in life, it pays to be compromising for the sake of peace.
Please do not take away the inocense of children.
