Kid is always outside by himself. No parents in sight. He's about 7. He's always playing and trying to connect with others. So he's pretty lonely I guess.

Now here's the real problem, which is consequence of the above problem.

Hes telling kids younger than himself completely uncalled for derogatory terms. Like "fuck you you are so wrong". They're like 5-6 years and shouldn't take that shit. But they listen because his a bit older and dictating what they play and "can do/not do".

And then he chased after the 5 yo and and hit him on repeatedly on his bike helmet because he didn't want to play a game how he wanted it go be.

So yeah, this kid is going to become so much trouble if left unchecked. I want him to be seen and guided by his family. Not left out of sight, out of mind.

Oh wow. Don't think I could do that. Did you talk to or consider talking to the parents?

Personally I feel paternal to all kids and would rather try a few steps before getting cps involved.

RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.
