I'm sorry, but I forgot to mention that I am not the parent or the person that the child stayed with. I know both of the parents and the child. I did not like it when I found out that the child cried and the parent would not pick he/she up, or that the other parent did not offer to take him/her home. I would never do that to a child. Actually the father of the child said to the parent (where the child stayed) that he was glad that she did not give into the child's behavior, that she needs to learn to stay with other people. I agree, but not to force them.. Don't get me wrong they are good people, but I don't like how they handled this. Oh the parent that the child stayed with did say that later she saw the child have a big grin on their face. She looked at the child and said you big faker. I don't think a child is a big faker if they cry for 3 hours.

Dear dorothy, you are way too empathetic. You feel other's pain so much that any time a child cries hard you think they are mistreated. The kid will be fine and has already forgotten the whole thing. Every child will have something happen that makes them cry like that. This child had never been away from home and was scared, and what do we do with fear? We face it. The kid will be fine.

I didn't see the first part of your question, but I can not believe ANYONE could let a child cry for three hours and not feel like a piece of crap for doing that!!! I would have a complete fit if anyone did that to one of my grand daughters! Kids might start out feeling ready to spend the night, but when it gets time to actually go to bed, they feel insecure and homesick. Shame on all of them for not taking that child's feelings into consideration!!
