I know it sounds terrible, but I've heard things (from a reliable source) that this friend's mom has been involved in drugs and spent time in jail, etc. I know people can change and I've spoken to the mother a few times at school and she seems very nice, but honestly, I'm a horrible judge of character. My daughter (who's 8) has been tenetively invited to thier house on Friday and I'm not sure how to handle it. I know my husband won't want her to go, but I don't want to disappoint either girl. They are really good friends and the girl is sweetheart. I was thinking of just telling her mom we were going to the movies and inviting them/the little girl to go with us, instead of my daughter going there. I could be totally wrong about the mom and be jumping to conclusions, which is why I wanted a background check. Just wondering if there was a way I could get a free one or if I should just dismiss what I've heard. My daughter's safety is my main concern. Any suggestions?!?!
