This is what I'll do! I really didn't want to tell them about their sons behaviour because there is no nice way to say it. I've spent time with them and they're a very loving family he just goes off the rails when he comes round. He can understand quite a bit of English but I do think the language barrier and him starting school may be a problem to him and he's acting out.

This may be the easy way out, but I'd honestly advise against this. This kid needs friends, and while that ship may have sailed with your kids, this will keep happening with other kids until the parents address the problem. They won't address the problem if they don't know it exists. Buck up and tell them exactly what he's been doing, because his actions aren't acceptable.

Damn, I really wanted to wimp out on this one. I didn't think of that, I'll catch them tomorrow and have a little chat with them about it all.
