    A 5 year old taking your personal belongings is cause for a learning opportunity. Anyone who would call their self a victim is just pathetic.

        Talk to the childs parent. Be polite, the more polite, the more embarrassed the parent will be. Then the child will learn a lesson from thier parent.

          The guy in the video didn’t seem all that interested in his son’s behavior, although it’s hard to tell if it was because he was more offended about the slur. I don’t really see any winners here, they both acted like idiots if you ask me.

            As a father, I can understand his reaction as recorded. He is defending his kid from essential an adult attack. Sounds like he saw her chasing his kid. Had she discussed it politely, he very likely would have been focused on the misbehavior of his own child. No guarantees of course. But the kids are 5. He may have been looking to start a game of chase with the other kid or something. They just don’t know how things are done, and they have to learn. Reacting with racial slurs to normal 5 year old behavior just totaly destroys the chance for learning.

              Agreed. Clearly the slur was not helpful, as it escalated the situation instead of defusing it (big surprise, I know).

              It’s just disappointing to see grown adults act just as irresponsible as the children they are supposed to care for.
