Just bought 9 year old son a pair of glasses 2 weeks later a 16 year old girl ask if she can borrow them?

Question

she has now lost them would like to know what actions i can take to get these glasses back or at least get the girls parents to help pay for another pair.

Answer 1

Why did your son borrow them to her in the first place?? That was irresponsable on his part.  Although he's only 9,  doesnt he know that he needs them, and you dont borrow something of that nature to someone?? Just consider this a lesson.   Get him another pair, and maybe this time you'll teach him the value of a dollar that goes along with it.

Answer 2

You need to call her parents.  You cant get them back if she lost them and if you want them paid for, you need to communicate this with the parents.  I would not suggest asking for the full amount because your child is partly responsible too since she let them be borrowed.

Answer 3

Do you mean sunglasses or regular vision correction glasses? If you are refering to sunglasses, I would say that you are kind of out of luck.  Regular glasses?  Definitely find out who this girl is. these things are expensive. I have to buy a new pair yearly for my son and they are an investment.  You need to find this girl, ask her why in the world she would want to borrow glasses them demand the cost of replacing the glasses.

Answer 4

do you mean sunglasses or prescription? Write a letter to the parents asking them if they can check for them as she has lost them and you need them back. And teach your son not to give his things to others

Answer 5

go see her parents and tell them what she has done and ask them to either pay for a new pair or at least half since your son let her take them

Answer 6

Why should the girls parents pay for the glasses?  Your son obviously GAVE them to her.  HE is the one responsible for them being lost.  If he hadn't handed over his glasses they would still be on his face wouldn't they?  I suggest putting HIM to work around the house to pay off a new pair of glasses.
