A neighbor's kid asked our 12-year-old son to a vbs at a local church this week. He goes from 8-12 everyday. They have a bible study, play some type of games/sports and have a craft time, etc. They have college kids and youth helping a few adults. The only rule is they can't bring electronic devices.
Everything seemed to be going well until yesterday. My son snuck his ipad in to catch a little fortnite during bible study. One of the college-aged girls saw him and pulled him out of the group in front of everybody and chastised him. She took the ipad and got down in his face and was trying to embarrass him. My wife and I have always told him to stand up for himself, so he spit in her face.
My wife was called and when she got there, all hell had broken loose. The counselors were all up in arms over it, and my son had been totally ostrich sized. No fault at all was placed on the girl who started all of this in the first place. She was the one who basically assaulted my son and took his property forcefully. Where I'm from that is textbook theft.
I've called the pastor and told him that we demand the girl apologize to my family this Sunday in front of the entire congregation. I've also demanded that this girl can never volunteer at the church again. I told him I gave a sizable political contribution to our sheriff this year, and I would hate to get him involved. Hopefully things will work out and he will meet our demands.
