My 14 yr old son got interviwed to be a teacher by the Bish last night, the day after his birthday.(They don't waste any time, do they?)
After a 45-minute long interview, my son comes out behaving unusually withdrawn and quiet. Bish talks to me, and says he needs to have another interview with son on Sunday. No mention of being ordained a teacher. So, son & I drive home, he remains unusually quiet. I ask if Bish did or asked him anything he felt uncomfortable with. Sure enough, he was asked about spanking the monkey. I became quite mad, not at son, but at bishop. I told my son that whatever he does in the privacy of his own bedroom or bathroom is nobody else's business, and that those urges he has are completely normal. I then told him that if Bish or anyone else ever asks again, the answer is either "no, i don't do that", "I don't feel comfortable talking about that", or "none of your business." He tells me that he did tell the bish he was not comfortable talking about it, but Bish wanted to talk about it anyway. Once I cool down, I will probably call & tell the Bish that he is not to talk to my son alone ever again, and if he wants another interview, it will take place at my house with one of his parents in the room.
