"They’re not friends," she said. "If (David) was my son’s friend, it would be a different thing." I didn't know every single one of my kids friends. Some were just school buddies, or friends of friends. It sounded like the younger kid didn't seem to fearful of the older kid when he insulted him in so called jest. I don't know many kids that would do that to anyone other that a friend especially not a bully. Unless the younger kid had a bad case of foot on mouth disease. Words are a form of harassment also. Some states even have verbal assault laws. I think these kids learned a good lesson, don't touch unless you need to defend yourself. The younger kid may have learned to watch what you say to someone.
