[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone think there is ANY chance OP will concede that her children need to shape up without pointing out what the other kids are doing?[/quote]

I think that there is some bullying going on with this topic. I think OP is upset that her child was hurt and is feeling defensive about what may have contributed. I think that those are normal feelings that probably should have been processed through before bringing the question to a forum- this one in particular.

I agree with another poster that it's not worthwhile to evaluate which is worse- the physical or the teasing. The fact is that both actions have short and long term consequences for kids. It's a little weird that OP doesn't see the issue  considering how many stories about bullying are in circulation.

It's incredibly disheartening to hear adults (and I assume fellow parents) sound almost gleeful that a child was physically scared/frightened. [/quote]

I don't think it's gleeful that a child was frightened.  I think it is beyond sad that OP cannot/will not realize that her twins' verbal crap is contributing to this.

Leave the other kid the hell alone.  Teach your kids to QUIT bugging people to the point of reaction.  Maybe this child does have something more going on, maybe he does have a short fuse for some reason.  In our school, provoking  is just as much bullying as reacting, and all 3 would have been in trouble.

What would you think of that, OP?  Can't they find anything better to do than bug people at recess?  [/quote]
