At a petting zoo/park type affair at the weekend. Notice a small child approx 5 years old quite upset being comforted by his parents. Hear Mum say that her son is scared of another, older child, who has his face painted like a monster/skeleton - approx 7 years old. Witness older skeleton child purposely seek out younger child twice. Younger child is upset and scared and runs for comfort from parents. Parents then leave the particular area.
Small child approx 3 years old, happily playing in area is then near skeleton child who makes scary monster like gutteral sounds and roars, loudly, at small child. Small child, who doesnt scare easily bursts into tears. Parent then goes to console small child and says to skeleton child "Well that wasn't very nice now was it" in a cross manner to skeleton child. Skeleton child replies "Well it's only paint" Parent then replies "And he's only a small child and you've scared him" and walks off comforting small child. Skeleton child's mother then moves across area and stands near skeleton child for a minutes after witnessing the above.
Was the second parent of small approx age 3 child out of order?
