[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - you sound defensive and melodramatic. If kid is under 10, not a crazy thing to think or say out louf. Even if kid older, not at all illogical to think or assume this. [/quote]

Make that under 8.

[b]I have an almost 10 year old. I cannot imagine a child that age being so callous. [/b]Maybe the kid has special needs. Otherwise, they definitely should know better by 8/9.

OP, how old is the kid? [/quote]

Then you have very little experience outside your own child.

I have two 11 year olds.  I can tell you from my experience that the 8-11 yo range is full of kids that are callous, insensitive and at times cruel.  My children have been the victims of bullies.  I have seen kids at the playground who have no filter.  I have seen kids at events who get upset about things and will respond with some very hateful things when lashing out.  I've seen kids who have rather inattentive parents who don't correct them who say many hateful and insensitive things, often out of a desire to attract attention.  If you've spoken to any ES teachers or counselors, you'll know that there are many kids in this range that have behavioral issues and will say callous and insensitive things.

While it isn't the majority, there are many kids who will say that.  Kudos for the dad for stepping in an addressing the issue.  Hopefully it will be something they will discuss more at a later time, but at leave he said something in the moment too.  Kids that age still need regular behavioral guidance from adults and parents.[/quote]
