With all due respect to Karen, this could end in a very slippery slope.
Bribing aside, if they were to come to the aid if there was an issue and
they were hurt or worse, it becomes a litigation potential.
It sounds like the instigator is at times, the son, so I’d lean towards
letting them/him work it out. If he’s disabled, he’s going to have to do
that even more in the workplace and adult years, so best to practice on kids
now. LOL Learning the right approach and handling of people could mean the
success or failure of interviews, performance and peer reviews, personal
contracts negotiation (buying a home, car), etc.
Just my thoughts!
