No, it's her job to keep him safe and his friend's mother poses a legitimate potential threat to him. It would be neglectful parenting to allow that.

It is bad parenting to make your child unhappy because she won't let him be with his friend. That's not loving good.
You might also want to remember that it's not the child that's the problem. It's the mother. If the friends mother is a bad alcoholic, and poses a threat, the guys friend won't even be in the house most of the time. If she really was a legitimate threat, the guys friend would not stay in the house. He would go somewhere safe.

You're an idiot.

If making your child entirely satisfied at all times is good parenting, then it must be bad parenting to make your kid go to school all the time, or to not buy your kid something they want just because.

She's being a good parent by keeping her child safe from a potential threat.

Other than that, I see nothing wrong with it.

Hahahah.

I can say from experience, just because the parent is bad doesn't always mean the child is bad. The mom should be concerned, but I'm sure if she could spend the time she'd probably find the friend not so bad.

I don't agree with what makingblah said, if your kid is hanging out with some pothead who has a pessimistic view on life, they probably shouldn't. That most definitely not the case here, but that is an example of a situation where a parent should step in.

Intervention?
Therapy?

[Chriz]

why does it matter, its not one of your parents.

i think my father is becoming an alcoholic, and I don't mind much. my mother's smoking habit is getting worse, and I don't mind that much either.
