No he’s a monster and this mom is an enabler

Six year olds cannot be monsters. He's being failed by the adults in his life. It's tragic.

Yes, they can. Not everything is nature and not everything is nurture, but you can’t act like monsters aren’t born when literally sociopaths walk among us.

You are really ignorant about child development and psychology. True sociopathy is extremely rare, and these types of personality disorders are almost always caused by early childhood trauma or poor parenting. People are not born evil. You watch too much tv.

We know, we know, your boy is “spirited” and just has “so much energy” and is “working out how to live in a school environment that is designed to stifle him.” We get it.

The kid in question has behavioral issues caused by poor parenting. Which is what this poster is saying. Can you read?

Disagree. The kid in question has behavioral issues. You have no way of knowing if the issues are caused by poor parenting or not. If you’ve never had a child with significant behavioral issues you have no idea how hard some of us are trying. It is hurtful to read that other adults believe a kids poor behavior can only exist because of a lack of parenting or poor parenting.

You're right, I'm just a dumb child psychologist. What do I know.

*My* 4yo would never be unsupervised with a known bad kid, but then there are all kinds of parents.

Watch.
Your.
Kid.

And tell the parents what happened, and tell them in no uncertain terms to keep their son away from your family, from now on.

You need to supervise your kids while playing in the neighborhood. If the ODD kid joins the group, you take your child and leave.

I think you need some additional rules for your kid. I know it's tough when all the kids are running around in a hang but a four year old does need more rules in supervision:
-you are not allowed to go into any homes without getting permission from me (you can check and make sure you are comfortable with the family and there is active supervision)
-you don't leave this block without my permission
-be direct with your kid about the rules in your family around touching and nudity
I think what happened was developmentally normal, but given what you've said about this other child I would be very concerned about the possibility of things escalating in the future. The best tools you have to keep your kis safe are yourself and your child.

The behavior in itself isn't concerning to me at all but the context of his causing trouble in the past, plus a commitment by the other parent to supervise, plus your 4yo on his own... I think it's potentially fine to not have him in your sight at all times but I might keep a tighter leash if you know there's a problem kid nearby.

*The not three.

Also- don't report it! Don't move! Just don't let your 4yo roam into his house or out of sight with this kid.
