These boys have been very close. There are a total of 6 boys that are always together, after school and on weekends. They are usually at my house. On the day of the party Nick was bike riding with Trent and 2 others. They had gone by Trent & Blake's house because Trent needed to get a Game Boy game and come back to my house. That was when Nick was told not to return.
I had already decided to talk to Nick about not going since he didn't have an official invite. He came home in tears before I could talk to him.
As a parent you hate to see your child hurting. As a non parent you hate to see any child hurting. I just needed some reminding to let the boys work it out on their own. I thank everyone for their input.
