to be furious at parents for childrens behaviour

[TinyPawz]

This is really the first I have calmed down since Friday afternoon....i'll tell you what happened.

I collected my daughter (2yr7mnth) from grannies house and came home. She was playing in the front garden and I was in kitchen just down the hall.

My lo is mixed race and we live in a very very white area. I believe she is the only mixed race/ other race person in the area.

Anyway she was playing and all of sudden she sharts shouting 'dap it' (stop it). I went to see what was going on. There were 3 older kids, 2 boys and 1 girl around 5 or 6 SPITTING AT HER!!!! I was livid. I yelled very loudly for them to get away.

I am at furious the parents and I suppose the kids as well. But assumably they are bein brought up to believe that that is acceptable behaviour. AIBU???

Is this the sort of stuff she is going to have to endure her whole life??

If you know who they are I would speak to the parents. It isn't necessarily race related, probably just vile behaviour from children. I should be proud of your DD,at least she wasn't taking it-she was standing up for herself at 2 yrs-well done her!

I would just like to say it isnt always from the parents, shocking and disgusting that this hsappe3ned.
A year ago my dd came home from nursery saying some racist things, I was mortified, we talked about hoew everybody is different, I told nursery, she carried on so in the end we had to say this is completely unacceptable and will n ot be tolerated. I still to this day have no idea where it came from, b ut I was heartbroken for the little girl they referred to and so embarrassed that they may think it had come from home.
It came from somewhere, nursery assured me she hadnt made it up herself buit woulodnt tell me where it had come from/.
I would tll teh pasrents so they cn deal with it.

I have a mixed race DD and have had some negative comments and gestures (teeth kissing, etc) from black people about her, as I push her down my local high street in my white freckly way, you can't win.
My friend had a black guy make a gun shape with his hand and a shooting gesture to her mixed race son's head while she was out one day - can you believe that??!!
I'm not sure how to handle this, I live in a very mixed community in South London, and in a slightly naive way maybe, want everyone to live together and get on, but it makes me bloody furious when people think they can make comments about mixed race children. It's only a very small minority of people who do this, but I just don't understand it at all.
So sorry that your DD had to experience this OP, give her a big kiss from all of us xxxx

Anyway, I do believe that the mixed races will inherit the world, so all those a-holes will just have to get used to it!

How awful - what vile children. If you know the parents i would have a word. 5/6 year olds spitting at a 2 year old is not acceptable for any reason whatsoever. Am so sorry you had to endure this. Hope your LO is okay.
