What does money have to do with neglect?
Nothing, but you guys are jumping to a lot of conclusions without any supporting evidence too.
What does money have to do with neglect?
Only thing I am saying in this particular case is that you shouldn't punish the kid because the parents either don't know how to use a messaging app or decided that going to practice was an inconvenience to them. That latter reason is a form (albeit not life changing) of negligence no?Nothing, but you guys are jumping to a lot of conclusions without any supporting evidence too.
Oh, and just to dispel the theory about the neglected kid. This isn't some inter-center, urban rec league where half the population is at the poverty line. I have parents driving Lexus', Porches and even one with a Ferrari, to practice.
I've seen situations like this in the past where the family just doesn't have a sense of team commitment. Some are even paying thousands of dollars to "play" on select clubs in various sports. Yet, the parents/kids don't really take it seriously and everyone wonders why they even bother. I hope that's not the situation here.
I'll post again after I've actually had a chance to evaluate the player.
If the kid chose to do something else besides go to practice I agree with you on this. That was not ever communicated as far as I can tell.However, there are also other little kids that give up other things, or dont do other things to keep their commitment.
I have less hair..Okay, your a sweet softy,

You ASKED US how we have handled it but you just don't like the answers you're getting because you seem to have an anger issue with the parent and want to take it out on the kid. Here is my evidence that I'm right about that. Your words -Nothing, but you guys are jumping to a lot of conclusions without any supporting evidence too.
That certainly goes to the point of dont take it out on the kid.You ASKED us how we have handled it but you just don't like the answers you're getting because you seem to have an anger issue with the parent and want to take it out on the kid. Here is my evidence that I'm right about that. Your words -
this parent seems completely disinterested and wants to participate only when it's convenient to him. He clearly lied about not knowing anything about practices. His DD is going to be batting last and playing all time RF when she's not sitting on the bench. I don't care if she's the best player on the team.
