As terrible as what the kid said is... and trust me. It is. I lost a parent to suicide, I’m not saying this without personal experience of the hurt this can cause and how awful it would be to hear those things.

He’s an adult in the workplace and a caregiver to those children. He absolutely shouldn’t have responded that way. Nothing justifies it. And I would absolutely sue the fuck out of him and have him fired. Or do the equivalent here. Which I don’t think is suing someone.

But I wouldn’t do that with any mind that what my kid did was acceptable on any level. Cause it’s not. People think it has to be black or white. Nah, it’s a shit situation all around and I don’t think the guy was fit to return to teaching and that child has some serious empathy issues. Both need some heavy therapy.

You’re also teaching your child whose already lacking empathy that there are certain situations violence is the answer. Not something I would want to teach.
