[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More than half the parents these days are the crappy type that doesn't properly discipline their kids. "Oh but what message would that be sending him? You say he was screaming loudly in a restaurant and I say he was simply expressing himself", "Oh you shouldn't get involved in kids' fighting, they need to work it out themselves you know", etc etc etc.

You just need to realize this as soon as you can and stop spending any time with them.

As for the deliberate mean streak, that's ALWAYS a sign of serious trouble at home. Someone behaves horrifically to them and so they take it out on others. You may think you know your friend, but you can never really know what's happening behind closed doors with her or in her home. You should pity the child, but from a good distance.[/quote]

NP here.  Its interesting to me how judgey some of these posters are about OP taking responsibility for her very young child/toddler's safety and concern that her child was hurt by a 10 year old.  OP is being completely reasonable in her level of concern.

OP, the above poster hit the nail on the head.  Your priority is your childs safety.  Its just upsetting realizing this, but be thankful it wasn't through something more serious.  Now you at least know to keep your eyes open and your guard up.[/quote]
