[quote=Anonymous]My dd (now 10) has been friends with a neighborhood kid the same age since before they could talk. Turns out this other kid has been telling other kids not to play with my kid for years at the school playground when my DD didn't want to play with this "best friend". Apparently the other was taking my kids toys and finally took something that meant a lot to my DD. We didn't initially believe it because we personally had never seen bad behavior. DD had a horrible breakup with this "best friend" over it and still misses the kid over a year later. I have seen behavior over the past year that has reinforced that my DD was bullied and abused by this kid. The fact we didn't initially believe DD's account hurt our relationship with her. We have spent months digging out of that hole. You are wise to see this and lay it out for your child early. Support your child if she misses her friend, but so starts the tween years. Good luck and good job.[/quote]
