    There are a couple of things that need to happen her. Firstly, these other parents need to leave their children alone to fight their own fights. The parents may be fueding but I'm sure that the kids are already over it, because that's how kids operate. They don't hold grudges. Those parents could learn a thing or two from their own kids. Secondly, see if you can get those people who taught your daughter these choice phrases to go to the school and apologise for the problem that they have caused. thirdly, your daughter has to face the mnusic and learn a valuable lesson here: don't say a word if you don't know what it means. Now I know she is only seven years old, but if she can learn this lesson now it will stand her in good stead as life goes on. Let her learn from this experience so she can move forward. Lastly, even though you are fuming, in two months from now everything will have well and truly blown over and things will be back to normal. The kids will get over it quickly. what the other parents do is their responsibility. You cannot make them forgive you. If it gets too bad perhaps you might want to consider moving schools. But just make sure you both learn the lesson to be learned before you move on. and do your best to mend relationships before you move on. I wish you well.

    Only too willing to give a quid if this is for real and not a con. Why don't you organise a coffee morning and get all who attend to give a pound for a cup of coffee and biscuit. Go to your local supermarket and ask if they would donate the biscuits etc.then give all proceedings to the fund?I'm sure the radio station would advertise it and this way you'd be contributing as well.

    Source(s): Just been on the link. It's not a con folks, it's for real.

    There is a charity that does that sort of thing. The hospital or social services should have information on it.

    I know that this charity pays for people with a terminal illness..

    (hope it's not terminal in this case) to go away on holiday.

    They will also pay for one other person to go too.

    So all these people have donated money.

    What about the rest of the needy kids in the same predicament?

    Thats what the Cancer research charities are for.

    Is it really fair that one should benefit over all the others?

    Hi, maybe you and some of your friends can get together and have a fund raiser. One time I wanted to raise money for the battered women's shelter so I hosted a variety show. Around here we sometimes sell dinners and donuts to raise money. I hope you the best with your project to raise funds.
