How old is the little girl?

Asking her questions - dunno if you can avoid that. But poking and prodding? What's that about?

THought she might have been a baby because you said they lifted her hat off and were poking at her etc. No, that's not on. I would never let dd behave like that with anyone, deformity or not. Poor little kid.

LaCod · 04/09/2007 09:36

yes, she needs t be strong

poor wee lamb

PandaG · 04/09/2007 09:37

I would be angry too. Questions, particularly from tinies, seem to be inevitable, but to poke and prod, and lift a hat to get a better look is really rude.

nailpolish · 04/09/2007 09:38

where were the parnets ? (of children who were prodding)

lulumama · 04/09/2007 09:39

at a young age, she should nto have to say anything herself, the parents of the children poking and prodding should intervene

SSSandy2 · 04/09/2007 09:52

so were the parents about then or not?

Can't understand why parents would let their children do that.

madamez · 04/09/2007 10:00

Small kids are invariably curious, and usually the curiousity is without malice, so polite questions should probably be answered politely. Poking and prodding is not on, though - stock answer is @don't do that, how would you like it if someone kept coming up and poking you and pulling your clolthes off?'

LaCod · 04/09/2007 10:03
