Friend told daughter to 'fuck off and die'

[leepingup]

My daughter and her friend are both 10, unbeknownst to me yesterday whilst I was in the shower, they pranked called a few of my friends. I found out because one of my friends text me to tell me. I said no more and that was that.

This morning daughter says to me, 'when we prank called your friend, 'Pete' he told us to 'fuck off and die' three times.'

I wasn't really sure how to handle the situation as they obviously shouldn't have been prank calling but also I think it's pretty obvious they are children.

So I text Pete and the messages went like this -

Me - Hey did you say to Amelia to go fuck herself and die yesterday, she said her and her friend prank called you yesterday, I didn’t know. Did you not realise it was her I presume? Xx

Pete - I didn't until she said her name!!! My intuition was right!!!

I don't really know what he means but I feel really uncomfortable about this.

Am I being dramatic? Should I leave it at that? Is it their own fault for prank calling?

Oh calm down people. Did none of you prank call when you was young?!
I did it and it was hilarious 😂
£1.50 for a cat ! Hardly offensive 🐈🐈‍⬛

Id be furious with Pete and I certainly wouldn't leave my kids unsupervised near him if I went near him after this. He sounds unhinged.

You are definitely NBU ✔️

Anyone “prank calling” (aka being as annoying as fuck) has laid themselves open to the person at the other end of the phone using blunt language.

hopefully Pete’s pithy response has put the kid off pestering anyone else.

obviously, she needs to apologise to everyone she disturbed with her stupid calls. Because she has been very rude and obnoxious.

Very strange she decided to annoy adults and not her own mates.

MN posters specialise in not being able to read and absorb even simple information, and in making shit up. They also love a bit of Chinese whispers with the made up shit.

So, your child did something wrong. She got a reaction that didn't bother her (if they were prank-calling, they were presumably aiming to get some sort of reaction). Maybe it wasn't the best language to use, but no harm done.
It's you who seems to be taking offense. Let it go, and concentrate on sanctions for your child. How about an apology letter to everyone they called? (I realise that on this occasion it was friends of yours who may not have been too bothered, but you want to nip it in the bud before it's worse.)

Why did she keep pestering him after the first time she was told to fuck off?

thats kind of perverse

pithy response

Fuck yourself and die is not a pithy response.

Unless maybe you're Joe Pesci in Casino.

Three times ..... He's an aggessuve nasty bastard. I'd be crossing him off your Christmas card list.

Why didn't he cut them off - these super offensive 🙄 young sounding females asking him to buy a cat for 1.50 - after he told them to fuck themselves and die?

@AprilFool23 pithy is defined as “terse and vigorously expressive”

which describes Pete’s response.

No it fucking doesn't.

Why didn't he cut them off

I have no idea, because I am not Pete.

seems a bit strange that a 10 year old is so unmoved with being sworn at by an adult that she stays on the line

I guess it depends on whether they called his mobile or his landline

If they called his landline then wouldn't the call continue until they hung up?

No because I wasn’t a cunt with a dipshit sense of humour.

the PP who mentioned she got prank calls when waiting on news for her ill father is exactly why prank calls aren’t hilarious.

If you can’t find humour without making other people the butt of your jokes, you’re a bit of dick

OP did he say “fuck off” or “fuck yourselves” or “fuck yourself”? It has been interchangeable on this thread. Have you a bad memory or do you just like to go for more dramatic effect when the thread hasn’t gone your way?

Because she is allowed to get away with murder and not only are there no consequences but daddy sticks up for her of someone she’s being a dick to is a dick back.

Thats why.

Their fault for prank calling! Good on Pete! What a bunch of nasty bullies

Sorry I thought Pete was a kid, I didn't realise he was your friend. I changed my mind, Pete should probably chill out (or is your child a bit of a brat and that's why he related that way?)

Big fuss about nothing

Your kid is prank calling and you are seriously expecting sympathy because someone responded in a way you didn’t like! I would probably have said worse to the little brats.

I’m with Pete here.

*I guess it depends on whether they called his mobile or his landline

If they called his landline then wouldn't the call continue until they hung up?*

What difference does being called on a landline make? Pete could still just hang up the phone!

😂

Nope, I never prank called anyone and I doubt any of the people you called found it hilarious.

Pete's response was in line with being provoked and I hope he stops being the OPs friend as she clearly can't set boundaries for her kids and blames others for the poor behaviour.

I don't believe that happened.

Neither do I.

What Lete said seems to be changing too

If she wasn't upset sounds like she is used to this response from people just how many times does she "prank call" people or piss them off?
