My son was with a stranger in the apartment, normal or not?

My son (13) was in the apartment of a strange, childless, single man (about 60), who lives here in the house, together with two classmates. They ate cakes and gummy bears there and watched Netflix. We have forbidden him to go there and now he is angry. Would you have done the same and what do you think?

If it's a neighbor, that sounds half as crazy. One knows his neighbors and can therefore judge whether something is OK or not. So I would not call a neighbor a stranger.

With anyone on the street, I would forbid it at once.

Well, after all, they were three. So dramatically, I would not see that for now.

I would just go there, tell that son already found it and thank me for the nice afternoon.

Usually you can decide pretty quickly whether it is "good" or "bad".

After all, he lives in your apartment building and not somewhere in the lonely prairie.

In case it does, you can quickly go away or roar. Especially when one is to several.

Do not look so wild, used to be totally normal. I'm more surprised that the guy has Netflix.

You were also three, what is there big.

Not every person is bad. Maybe he is just a bit lonely.

Only most of the abuses happen in the immediate vicinity, one should also think about it and not take something lightly.

You can search for a clarifying conversation, which is why you do not find it so good. But you do not always have to put everyone under general suspicion.

As children, we were often with the "childless" neighbors, who were already a bit older. Was not an issue at all.

I just do not think it's OK, because it's certainly wrong for many people.

Maybe you speak from the perspective of a person affected, furthermore, I would certainly also important if I'm the person in principle sympathetic.

I'm not affected myself and I do not scissor all people together.

But it's just that times have changed and a lot is happening to children. This will give you a more negative attitude to such behavior.

Yes
