Can We Simply Ignore?

This kid that keeps posting about calling CPS on his/her mother for telling him/her he/she was acting like a baby for throwing ketchup in McDonalds?

It's a TROLL. It's th 5th time the question's been asked. I'm sure it'll be posted again. The first time it was a girl. The second time it was a boy. Both times this troll got into a fight with his/her brother.

What advice would we give to our children if someone was being obnoxious like this? IGNORE THEM. They will likely go away if people quit responding.

From other responses, this has been posted on other parenting sites, too.

Can we all agree to just ignore it from now on?

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Cheryl - you could be right. This could be a real kid. But after 5 posts with real answers each time, they need to understand the answer isn't going to change. Also, the fact that this "kid" went from being a girl to a boy sort of indicates to me that it's not a real kid. Also, if this is a real kid, they also posted on other parenting sites so the folks there can also offer their suggestions.

I didn't even think about responding this time...I wanted to post for everyone to not respond...but decided not to even do that. This was a good idea of yours. Everybody just stop!

My thoughts exactly. I've already reported the thread, so hopefully the troll will get the message.

You are so right in your SWH - first it was a girl, now a boy. In PM after PM, he/she said the exact same things from each thread, never learning ANYTHING from anyone's advice, including my own. That tells me that it isn't a real situation at all.

So done with this...

Report the troll for spamming every time he does it, and you can do it without responding to him.
They are going to have to block his IP address.

A.:

Apparently he will keep posting the question until it is no longer pulled.

Apparently he PMs people and tries to tell them his side - AGAIN...not believing us...

There was someone who posted once that MAYBE just MAYBE this kid is for real and needs help. I think it was Libby - give him the answer and stop reporting him.

Maybe then he will LEARN and go away.

I agree to ignore. No need to waste your time on any further responses. Responses have been made. If (big IF) the situation is real, it's been responded to. Let it ride. I think it's a troll.
