The woman that lives a few doors down has a nephew (I think) that visits her on a regular basis. My son (7) used to play out at the front of my house with this child (I live in a cul de sac and he knows NOT to go out of the "circle"). However, a few weeks ago DS1 came running in the house screaming with a bloody nose. He was too upset to tell me what had happened properly so I went and asked the other children that were playing out as I didnt see myself what had happened. They told me this boy had pushed DS1s face into a parked car because he didnt want to play with DS1. I gave him the benefit of the doubt as, like I said, I hadn't seen what happened nor could I get a straight answer from DS1.
A week after this had happened DS1 again came in crying and said it was the same boys fault again. This time he'd taken DS1s scooter off him and when DS1 asked for it back, he slapped him, punched him, kicked him between the legs and pushed him over.
I went out to get DS1s scooter back and as I did the boy dropped the scooter and ran back to his house, as if he'd done something wrong.
I have now stopped DS1 from playing out so to avoid this boy and I'm not sure about going to see the boys auntie or whatever she is as I have to live near her and have only just recently moved in so I'm new to the street.
