Re: Seven year old Lyme sufferer looking for a pen pal

[Guest guest]

I really do not want to come off as a jerk , but be what it may it is

unsafe to ask this type of thing over the Internet , I would suggest that this

mother speak to her doctor and find a child that way or attend Lyme meetings

in her area to establish a relationship ..........way too dangerous IMO to

ask for such a thing on the internet.there are many groups as well that

one could have exchange and make acquaintance that way , I am guessing that

the parent has no Internet ??

If I have offended anyone's sensibilities I apologize

is this group moderated ?? . B. N. in Mass

Hi All,

I have a friend who's 7 year old son has Chronic Lyme. He is feeling lonely

and would like to hear from another his age. His mother asked I send this

out.

Please email me and I will send the email to his mother to reply to.

Thanks!

Hi,

Its not going to be an easy task .. I know, Ive tried for myself!! So, I

think the internet is an okay place to seek this, but with precautions of

course. There is always the parent checking the situation out talking to both

parent and child .. cking address w/name given etc .. and any other things any

one else can think of precautionary things to do...cc

Certainly a valid concern Lizzia.

I am well known I think in the lyme community and I expect most people know

this email is exactly what it says. But you are correct in assuming it could

be problems on either side.

It's a sad state of affairs in this world indeed. But you fears are

certainly not groundless etc.

The mother is planning to vet all the emails and feels comfortable with

this. They are also doing some regular snail mail pen pals too. They are

very grateful to the folks who have responded. I am assuming the mothers on

the other side will be taking similar precautions.
