On another point, you may want to just be nice and [b]meet up with her and her kid at a playground for an hour.  You set the time and the place.  "Hi Susan, can you meet us at XX Playground from 10am - 11am (hard stop) on Saturday?"  Don't offer other options and if she offers to host, just say you are doing outside playdates b/c covid.  Maybe her kid will behave this time.

If the kid does not, you can have a real excuse when she texts you again. [/b] IE - "Larla and Sharla didn't seem to get along last time. Let's give it a little time before we schedule again. Hope all is well."[/quote]

Please do not ignore. That is so incredibly rude.

I agree with the bolded here. I wiuld not blindly trust gossip and would give a child a chance. The gossio coukd be false, grossly exaggerated, or have an explanation. I’d find out for myself.[/quote]

I would, assuming that my kid wanted a playdate with this kid.  If not, no playdate.  There are kids that my kid doesn't like because they hit/punch/kick other kids, and I'm not making her have a playdate with them.  But if she said it was okay, then I'd do the hour-at-the-playground thing.[/quote]
