Good lord, vw. I'm with everyone else who says to report this kid and end the tutoring relationship now -- especially any one-on-one meetings.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Spike's Bitches 39: Cuppa Tea, Cuppa Tea, Almost Got Shagged, Cuppa Tea...
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Vortex, I'm sorry your boss is so wrong-headed.
It might be kind of fun to force said boss to participate in PowerPoint Karaoke.
I made the mistake of clicking on another article linked from that one. And now I'm having an existential meltdown about my the way my life has gone. I'ma be over here in the meltdown corner, having melted chocolate. Clearly that is the best remedy. That and a nap before work.

Kitty is extremely dehydrated (which I knew). I planned to not let them admit her as I knew it would be awful for her, but the vet said she's seen cats at this stage get rehydrated and live for years after. So I left her (with many tears). Now I'm home bawling like an idiot. I hate to think of when the end actually comes. Too much sickness and death lately.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
let me just say that this is not a situation that you should delay reporting. You should also not tutor this student at all from this point on. Please don't do so out of a sense of duty.
I couldn't have said it better. Please, vw, report this asap.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
vw how is it possible you're not on my lj friends list? I was so certain I'd been reading your lj. I must have only clicked through to it from links you posted here. I'm 1_aga in case you were (or anyone else was) wondering.
So yeah I can't read the saga of scary student but I am confident in the advice given above. Please let us know when you have reported the incident(s)!

gloomcookie, I'm so sorry. Pet stuff can be the hardest. I hope she bounces back and you enjoy her company for years to come.

Mostly lurking...
Laga, I will add you in a moment.
I'm home. I've basically done everything I can do at this point, and now it's out of my hands. I wish I felt better about it, but I don't. And I can't decide how much of this is a normal reaction and how much of it is a PTSD reaction. Either way? Not liking how I'm feeling right now. And I have to pull myself together in the next half hour to go play with little kids.

how about a little perplexity this morning? From the imdb news...
Socialite Paris Hilton has defended herself against criticism of her extensive pet collection, insisting she only owns 17 dogs because they keep breeding. The Simple Life star is currently at the centre of a new Los Angeles Department of Animal Services investigation after recently boasting about her pooches on Ellen DeGeneres' TV talk show. But Hilton claims her brood keeps growing because she doesn't want to separate newborn pups from their parents. She says, "They keep having babies and I feel bad to give them away because I feel like, if I had a baby and someone gave it away it would be mean."
