Called Unsociable 10 year old a fat c*nt

Don’t worry about the word cunt, OP. Nowadays fat is the biggest insult you can throw at anyone. It’s like spritzing holy water on Lucifer 😆

Why ? Because people are advocating that the very poor behaviour of some children is being called out ?

No dear, you need to do better. OP has already said he wasn’t overweight and the reason she said it was because of his behaviour - she admitted it was wrong which is why she posted. You’re making excuses for children engaging in shit behaviour unchallenged and you are part of the reason that children are growing up with no sense of discipline because of ‘gentle parenting’ - and you are also part of the reason that there is so little tolerance for children with genuine ASD and ADHD, by making it an excuse for bad behaviour across the board.

You shouldn't have said that, the jab at his weight was nasty and immediately lost you the high ground but he was being a cunt and honestly I'd have been tempted to shove the little prick off his scooter too. Parents can't control their kids anymore.

I wouldn't pay it much mind 😉 serves him right he may not of been fat but he was being a curly C 😂

What, as in Cunt child? Child cunt?

How about Little cunt? Or maybe Cunt minor?

Fat little cunt child would sound awesome.

Next time, just call him a little shit and help him alight from his scooter somehow OP. Although if it were around my way, I’d be extremely wary of the families that have the types of children that behave like that, as the police and the public is powerless to do anything about themit and they’re a law until themselves.

Yes, you used words you wish you hadn’t. But this kids was being awful and had scared you. Sometimes what comes out of our mouths in these situations isn’t necessarily thought out or planned. We react and things jump our self censorship abilities and pop out. It’s ok.

@Rainbows41 I disagree with what Op said but I doubt you can ascribe innocence to this boys actions. Interestingly he didn’t ask Op why she called him that or act surprised by the sounds of it, he was just angry. I think at that age he knew what he was doing speeding around close to people and making vomiting noises at Op. He doubled down on circling her, after she called him that as well as part of his retaliation. He’s clearly aware of the effect it had/has.

I think she should’ve spoken to the parent or a manager, but the truth is directly confronting an unruly child whether it’s politely or not can backfire easily and you could be found at fault as an adult approaching a child. So I doubt it would’ve been a good idea to address the child in any way.

You didn't know the child and therefore assumed he was eleven. He clearly was overweight, otherwise you wouldn't have called him fat. Now to couple that with the 'c' word, this says a lot about your frame of mind.
I have a 9 yr old with ADHD and ASD, and he is overweight and very tall for his age. He looks like a burly 13 year old.
He plays up for me when in public sometimes, and I sometimes get odd looks from people assuming he's much older than he really is.

If you spoke to my child like that, I would lose it.
If he was annoying you, you should have smiled at him and asked him politely if he wouldn't mind not scaring you.
In his mind, he was prob playing a game and didn't realise he was coming across as intimidating.

You need to do better OP.

What? I think you’re missing a pronoun or too there.

So, how should have made sure before she left the shop she wouldn’t have called the child a fat c*? How were you going to do
that?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What are you on about?

Would it cross their mind to go to the shops next to it though?

This. If my child behaved like scooter-boy I would be absolutely mortified and an insult for a member of the public would be the least of my concerns. But it's unlikely to happen because my 11 year old would not be whizzing around on an electric scooter trying to intimidate members of the public.

The saving grace is the dad didn't take the boy's side so there is a possibility that at least one parent isn't a cunt and he might be disciplined.

Call them “juveniles” - correct black letter definition with an association of delinquent. Happy?

we will have to agree to disagree, I just think that when children like this are put on the stand, for crimes and general anti social behaviour, calling them a child, paints a wrong picture. Yes they are by age a child, but by law, they are a suspect, a potential criminal who is being judged not by their peers but by adults without any criminal history.

Call them children, because that’s what they are.

completely agree, which is why we need to call these appalling individuals out, they are giving 'child' and 'children' a bad name! I'd say that 99% of children are relatively well behaved who would never even consider acting in this manner.
Therefore call them feral youths, or mindless thugs in the making or something similar, I can almost guarantee that this youth in the OP will be seeing the youth courts is the not too distant future.

I guess it’s never occurred to me that “child” is a “nice” term, it’s just a word describing someone younger than an adult to me.

I’m sorry but this made me laugh. You just said what we would all have thought. The kids around me are little shits and eleven years old or not, you have to act in self defence to get anywhere. Was it ideal? No. You probably shouldn’t do it again. But it sounds like you just snapped in the moment and these things happen.

Maybe all that energy would have been better spent bring up the child properly in the first place? Then no one would have to call it a fat cunt.

This thread is deeply disturbing

OP is getting a lot of support her and I do not think it is because people think she did the right thing, it is because she at least did something.

Most people would have ignored it, walked away and let the kid bother someone else, I probably would have done too, but frankly I think that is the worst thing someone can do.

OP stuck up for herself , not in an ideal way but who does think of exactly the right thing in the spur of the moment? She called it she saw it and told the kid a home truth.
