But see... that's the thing...

ALL that stuff happened at the OLD school... not now. This school year just started and one has coldsores on her face.

No lice YET. But I still do NOT want my daughter to be around these girls. Its a new school for these little girls and they only know my daughter from the old school. So when they saw her they wanted to cling to her.

I think I will have to discourage this... I told the teacher and two members of the school counsel. I will also speak with the school's parent coordinator to make sure she keeps and eye on the girls ongoing health issues.

So do I wait to see if something happens this year? Or just jump to telling the moms to keep the kids the hell away from mine?

OH... the moms are NEVER in the school yard nor do they walk their daughters to o5 from school.

The girls are both 9 years old and cling to eachother.

Now this is where you have the power of the moms (inc.), there is always one in the bunch (speaking kids) who has no problem not being so nice, which may influence you daughter a bit when you're not able to. Since you're daughter has already been to that school, I'm sure she's formed some sort of group of friends and I'm sure their moms would be just as concerned as you are. All this sounds so cruel, but when it comes down to health issues, sense trumps being nice. Those girls will probably have to learn how to fend for themselves, since grown folks aren't stepping up to the plate. Now I'm sad.

I know just the mom to do it... a retired grandma of my daughter's best friend. She used to be a meter-maid and is brassy as hell.

I am sad too. These girls are sweet girls, its not thier fault but I just can't do this again. I want to make sure these girls are safe and healthy ......and they just want a friend in my daughter.

This whole situation is just so damn screwed up. sigh

Those poor babies... A kid at my kids school had his own shower kit that he had to use everyday before school... And they took the clothes he had on that day and washed them for the next day so his stuff would always be clean... How fucking sad that his own parents couldnt even keep him clean sad

That may be an option tho?

I remember in the 3rd grade, there was this one girl who lived with her grandmom.

I still remember the way the girl looked. She smelled like death. I mean, she smelled

so horrible that the teacher could even smell her from up front in the classroom.

The teacher called the grandmother, and I remember the two of them in the hallway

talking with the girl beside her. It was the strangest thing I ever saw. We were going

between classes after the bell rang, but I sort of stood nearby to eavesdrop.

Apparently the girl never bathed and the grandmother didn't pay too much attention

to such things, thinking that the girl would take care them herself.

The grandmom promissed to ensure that she bathe everyday.

From that day on the girl stopped smelling aweful, though her hair

went from an oily sheen that laid flat against her head to a fluffy

cowlicky mess, and her dresses occasionally smelled like Mrs.

Havisham's closet.

The moral of the story is never take laxatives and sleeping pills at

the same time, but also have the teachers speak to the parents (or

do it yourself). It's as much about public health as it is about anything else.

Ms. Meadows was informed. nod (the teacher)

But she told me she would keep and eye on the girls since the school year just started.

I think I may just have to make a phone call to make sure the girls are OK at home. sigh

A teacher named Mrs. Meadows? lol

That's totally comforting sounding.

They don't have showers at that school... its a teeny elementary K-grade5 school and there is only one fourth grade and one fifth grade class.

I WISH.. heck I'd get my hazmat suit on and do their hair myself.

Yes... and she is a totally sweet lady with a really wrinkled face. She wears cute sweaters that have themes. The one today had apples all over it.

Poor thing for those girls. Can the teacher or counselor pull the girls on the side and have a little talk with them about hygiene? I agree that the teacher should talk with the parents also but maybe educating the girls because the parents don't care about educating them about physical health.

Too bad there aren't federal or community programs within schools that will mentor children that are obviously being neglected so they can get 'other' care besides education at school such as help with health related problems or even one last good school meal before they go home (even though some families have foodstamps it doesn't always go towards feeding the kids but sold or exchanged for drugs). I know it's not anyone else's responsibility to care for the kids, but it's not their fault the parents can't care for them well.

This story just made my stomach turn.

How the f*ck can these children walk around like that and still be in the custody of those useless cunts they call mothers?

Lice? Odor? Cold sores? Curdled milk in baby bottle?

Those kids need to be taken away quick. An orphanage would serve them better than whatever hellhole they're living in now.

I'm surprised the other kids in school aren't harassing them because kids can be mean as hell. That's usually enough right there to make someone either clean themself up or attempt to clean themself up. But even if they can't, I'm surprised the teachers aren't seeing their condition themselves.

Well this morning I was in a meeting with the school's parent corrdinator, the principal, and the school nurse about the situation and my concerns.

They were helpful, they even got the former administration from their former school (the vice principal and school nurse-she actually worked in both schools last year) on a conference call. They will transfer the old records by hand tomorrow. They had on going issues with the same mothers last year as well. They wouldn't get into details while I was in the office, so they ended the conference and the principal took the call in his office to talk with the school nurse privately.

So I was told if any new issues came up that she would be brought in for a meeting and that they would have to start from step one with her. Its the law... they would have to witness major indicators of neglect before taking any action. They thanked me and sent me on my way.

So basically until the girls have lice jumping off them again or are covered with rashed skin they will take no action.

My one consolation is that the school's parent coordinator doesn't play... she WILL make sure the girls do NOT cause an outbreak and assured me that at the first signs of neglect that she would have social workers do a healthy check up on the home especially since the parents of the school's council (I am one of them) will raise holy hell.

Here we go.... neutral I really hope those girls are better taken care of now and no issues will arise this year. I guess the facial coldsores on of the girls has will be an ongoing thing. Nothing much you can do about a cronic issue anyways.

Those sweet girls, I hope they have a better experience this school year and that their moms are more on point to doing what they need to do.

I have two extra back packs....

Today they will get fresh oranges and nice huge pink lady apples, (they were on sale, so I picked up lots... the apples are BEAUTIFUL ) I also picked up two bottles of gummy vitamins and I will stick those in the packs to give the girls.

I'll do that so other kids won't notice and the girls suffer no embarrassment. Imma give it to them as they file out of school on their way home.

Later on I will speak to the parents on the council to help get these girls all the essentials they need... like toiletries and clothing. sun

Thanks for your support guys... grouphug

I hope these two moms straightened up their acts. pray

NO. It's NEVER ok to hurt a persons (especially a childs) feelings. but I don't really think that was a proper thread title. smile The lice "was" a problem but seems to not be right now so...that's actually a non-issue at the moment. The cold sores. I think perhaps the parent coordinator or someone at the school (since they don't have a nurse) could/and should speak to the girls about their condition, explain to them that it is contagious and that they should NOT kiss anyone at school or that is not their family.

Poor kids! sad You're being very kind by getting them fresh fruit and making sure they have the stuff they need. hug

"not a fan" falloff yeah...ok

My daughter will have to hurt the girls feelings if I see another rash lump or bug... shake

the mommas will get their feelings hurt too if I have to call DSS on them. sigh

Freggin drama... I hope the girls like the fruit... I know they will like the gummy vitamins. I don't care if the mommas are offended either. F@@k those nasty lazy heffas.

hug I wish I wasn't poor myself, I would do so much more for those girls. Those mothers should feel blessed to have such sweet girls that are actually nice and just want a little love and attention.

But you are right... on all points... I hope those girls don't get teased like they did in the old school. Vainandy is right on point with his post... that is my fear along with giving my daughter headlice or a rash. sigh

mushy This morning she had on all purple and she wore sparkly purple earrings with grapes to match her grape sweater. She is too cute... biggrin

She passed out those "smelly" pencils that smell like cookies and cakes and fruit to her kids yesterday. My daughter loves her. woot!

I am glad those girls will have a more compasionate teacher who will deal with them. Thank God for small favors.

Thanks but I feel like I am a judgemental bitch right now... I can't even front on that.

I am a single mom and people have blessed me... so when I can I always give to those who need it. Especially kids... man, I HATE to see kids suffer in any kind of way.

The nice thing about where I live... the good people that care out number the hood rats. So I am mad at these two trifiling moms, but all I can do is just offer help.

I shouldn't judge... I am poor too. I just want these kids to know that people have their backs and that the moms will get the help they need even if they don't ask. I never asked and help came my way from awesome people when I needed it. I am just passing along blessings that were given to me.

Heck, they may not even like apples but I will keep these girls on my radar and try to get them things when ever I can. Everyone once in a while needs support and those moms deserve support also.

sigh I hope the learn to ask for help and become part of a community that cares about them.

A new school year has started for my kids.

Two years ago I happily transferred my daughter out of a school to the same school her brother goes to. One reason for doing so, (besides convenience) is that she went to school with two girls that KEPT lice year round for two years and various rashes and infections including ringworm and cold sores.

These two little damn girls LOVE my daughter. They see her and run to her and hug her up.

I cringe everytime.

I teach my daughter to be polite, but recently these two little nasty girls have now transferred to our school sad and they are even in the same class.

One little girl has a coldsore on her lip... and another right on her cheek that was over an inch wide.

The other has no visible lice, whew but she smells like she really needs to wash and mind you, we are only 3 days into the new school year. These girls will progressively get worse.

I told my daughter to fist bump for greetings and NOT to hug. But these little girls still run up on my daughter and still kiss her and want to touch her. They are soooo nasty.

What do I do.. is it OK to hurt their feelings by explaining I do NOT want my daughter to catch another rash from them? They like her and are sweet girls but they are so nasty. I am angry at their mothers and upset my daughter is in the same class as them.

In their former school they re-infected the school with lice the entire time my daughter attended the school and you could actually see the lice crawling on on of the girls head since they grew to maturity and were dark brown in color with long abdomens. GROSS. There were covering her hairline.

total heebee geebees when I see them. sigh

shake Why are they allowed to come to class like that? Don't schools have policies regarding hygeine and things like lice and cold sores which can be transmitted to other students? Damn, I guess you can have chicken pox and just roll up into the classroom.

I like kids but have no problem setting their little asses straight. Just tell them "look so and so, i know you guys are all friends but you need to tell your mommy to help you get rid or your lice and your cold sores because it is very nasty and you can't play with my daughter until you and your mommy fix that. Understand? Ok now run along and make sure you tell your mommy I said you were nasty."

Now girl, you just have to deal with the mother. She's is the culprit for letting her kids walk around like that. Ring worm! Shit! bitchfight

I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!

Awww you did good hug I still would have told those girls to their face that they are nasty (in a nice and pleasing voice) so that they would relay the comment back to their mother. I know it sounds a tad cruel but sometimes you have to be brutally honest and its not like the mother would give a damn unless she felt she and her offspring were being talked about IMO. People are funny when it comes to public perception.

nod The supermarkets are stocked full of apples right now and those damn Pink Lady apples are on sale! Just 4 bucks a bag (about 5-6 in those lil' cute bags)... bought 4 and huge bags of the navel oranges that were perfectly ripe also.

I love sales on fruit when they are in season. I can't wait to go apple picking in a few weeks also. foodnow

I gave the girls the bags... them shits were heavy. lol

The girls were like whofarted "for us?" "Can we come over to play with Nia?" (my daughter)

shake they seemed disspointed that I said no and took the bags graciously. They hugged me.

Poor things. Yes, I cringed again. Atleast they didn't smell like poop, only regular funk.

Lord help me Imma go to hell in a handbasket. boxed

Now I am grubbing on apples... damn these are so good! drooling

Well, see...here's the thing about apples. It all depends what you like. I wouldn't touch a Red Delicious with a 10-foot pole. They're always soft and mealy...and the skins are thick and bitter. barf A lot of folks like Yellow Delicious or Gala - but they're both too soft and sweet for my taste.

On the other hand...a really hard, tart, heritage apple like Earliblaze? drool And Pink Lady is good and hard, too - though on the sweeter side.

The best thing to do is go to an apple stand at a farmer's market, tell them what you like, and let them recommend one. With kids, it helps to cut them up - because the apples they sell at grocery stores these days are just too big for kids to get their mouths around. Try a few different kinds - no dipping sauce - and let them discover what they like.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

Awww you did good hug I still would have told those girls to their face that they are nasty (in a nice and pleasing voice) so that they would relay the comment back to their mother. I know it sounds a tad cruel but sometimes you have to be brutally honest and its not like the mother would give a damn unless she felt she and her offspring were being talked about IMO. People are funny when it comes to public perception.

hug

Those mommas are too ghetto, they have NO shame. I wish they did. People talk about their girls ALL the time in the neighborhood, those girls aren't allowed in anyone's homes. The DSS social workers made them clean up their act... I hope. pray Its still only the first week of school.

yeah I don't care for red delicious either...they remind me of a pear...and I'm not a big fan of pears. I take them apple picking every year. smile my youngest is like nom nom nom chowing down on any old apple he finds. my oldest is just STUBBORN and refuses to try anything. I will have to MAKE him try one again this year. but..ya know, I like em crisp and tart...maybe I should have him try a milder one like a red delish... hmmm perhaps he just doesn't like the tartness.

"not a fan" falloff yeah...ok

That's entirely possible. But I still wouldn't go with Red Delicious. lol

I thought it was just me who didn't like Red Delicious or that it was just my grocers who carry them soft and mealy. Fucking cannot stand that, ugh. Making my saliva glands shrink up right now just thinking about it.

Loooooooooooove Granny Smith, Gala, Pink Lady.

My face 2 bloom....confuse

I really have to explain?

It was my tactful way of saying (because of your useage of exclamtion points and the sensitive subject matter... )

a breakout caused by stress... I wouldn't want your face to flower with coldsores from getting upset.

shrug You asked.

My face 2 flower with coldsores.......it sounds nicer than it actually is.

Since you're here... what is the best medicine for cold sores? Can anyone buy some over the counter something for the girl in the school? Something she can apply herself and keep in her backpack?

I need a recommendation because baby girl looks rough right now. sad
