[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. The kids were playing together at first. Later, my boyfriend’s daughter sat down by herself and my nephew followed her over. She told him no and told me that he kept touching her stuff, so I told him to play with the other kids, which he did.

A few minutes later he came back. That’s when she swatted his arm. He started to cry and reached for me, so I picked him up and comforted him. My SIL came in from another room when she heard him cry and comforted him, and after he had calmed down, she confronted my boyfriend. She didn’t say anything negative about his daughter, but did criticize him.[/quote]
Sounds like the 15 yr old tried multiple times to get the 5 yo to stop. Used words, moved locations, etc.  A swat on the arm is not “smacking” - so which is it?  You initially made it seem like the 15 year old abused the 5 year old.
I imagine a swat on the arm is not hard - and has the intended purpose of getting the child to leave things alone without actually inflicting harm.[/quote]

Your attempt to downplay what happened is pathetic. [/quote]

Your attempt to spin what happened into some absurd melodrama is pathetic.[/quote]
