https://ift.tt/2LyJBCi just got home from picking him up from camp. First, I asked my son when he was supposedly hit. He said that he was hit around about 11:00 AM yesterday, when they were inside doing art. I then talked to the counselors and asked to review the footage of that period. I got to see it, and my son wasn't hit at all during that time. No counselor even got in the way of my son's personal space. My son says he lied about this because he didn't want to be at camp and wanted to stay at home and play video games. He also said that he blamed that certain counselor because he didn't like that counselor for making him participate and have fun. If it weren't for that counselor, my son probably would have just sat in the corner sulking and hating camp and not participating. Knowing that my son lied, I made him write a letter of apology to the counselor he blamed. I talked to him in the car on the way home about how he could have ruined multiple people's lives with his selfishly-motivated lie. I also banned him from video games for the rest of July and gave him an extra chore (taking out the garbage). Thank you all for your advice -- I am also really grateful that we didn't get banned from that camp. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2XoCOxi
