Park etiquette

Hi everyone so earlier today my daughter who is 7 was playing in our park(which is 25 meters from my front door) I was ironing and watching her through the window..some young boys came into the park they where playing together and then the youngest boy who is around 5 punched my daughter in the stomach and then punched her friend also in the stomach and called them lesbian bitches😳😳 shocked by what I had seen/herd I went straight to the front door where my daughter was walking over with her friend and they started to tell me what had happened, seconds later the little boy knocked on my door and told me that Bonnie had punched him..bearing in mind I had watched everything that had happened I told him that I knew he was lying and that those types of words are not acceptable went back in and carried on praising my daughter for walking away and not reacting. Moments later his dad is at the door saying iv made his son cry and that my daughter has been punching his son! So I told him what happened and he said we where lying as his son had said that it was my daughter doing the punching..the conversation got very heated it has made me feel very anixious and guilty for getting cross towards the end of the conversation..there has been other occasions where this same child has called my daughter a c*t and a shit face
.i don't want my daughter around children that behave that way but these people only live a few doors up from me...do I try and repair what has happened as I did get really cross towards the end as I told him twice that I had watched his son do that to my daughter.i think I feel more disappointed that I got so angry and now I feel like I'm the one in the wrong??

I think you should not allow your daughter out without you there if this kind of thing is happening.

I don't see how you can repair it. Unless the other parent is willing to see their child's behaviour is wrong and correct it what can you do?

You could apologise for shouting but I think that will just make him think he wasn't unreasonable.

If he tries to fix it I would let it blow over but I don't think you should actively do anything.

The little boy is a danger to your daughter because of what's going on in his own home. Do you know his mother? She may be in a bad way. Horrible situation for you too. The bloke probably hit his son for lying anyway - no point trying to convince him of what you saw!
