@mordukai: A very small piece of advice, friend; don't go to such lengths to personalize your stand in a debate. Because you are leaving no doubt as to your role in this tale, that of the indirectly aggrieved party, people will naturally come to see you as biased. Even further so, as in this situation, it was your child that was at the receiving end of said unpleasantries, and while you can become desensitized to such behaviour when directed at yourself, it is far more difficult to remain apathetic when the unpleasant affects something, that above all, you want to protect. Now you've unfortunately gotten yourself into the middle of this mess, where the incident itself has, to most onlookers, become obsolete in contrast to what it suggests, and the mob has split into two distinctive groups, the one finding fault in your arguement and therefore in you and your story, and the ones who are lamenting the state of things in modern, urban society, stating like so many millions have done before, that the end is surely enclosing.
Stop being so defensive when it comes to your daughter. You're proud of the little thing, that's obvious, but I fail to see where and why you have to validate your daughter's virtues. It has no bearing nor any major impact on this story. Be proud of your kid and let these shit-heads who call her into question remain the ignorant shitheads they are, and focus on the original issue instead. That being the state of modern kids.
And in regards of that, everything is subjective. Where I grew up, kids, no older than 10, would beat another child with metal bars and strip them of their clothes in winter. And that's just plain cruelty. What you described was just a child aping languge he might very well have heard on TV or in a rap song. In fact, he might as well have called her a "poopyhead", the intent behind it would have remained the same. The child in question might be among the nicest little people you'll ever meet, but as every single, existing child, lack the depth of understanding and judgement that an adult possesses and mis-used a phrase.
The point of the story was that the children were happy, playing and running around, and as such, I highly doubt that one of the little buggers just up and decided to liken your daughter to a despicable female dog in heat out of sheer spite, and more likely, was just playing rough, as boys that age do.
That said, continue the good job in raising the little lady, but try to keep an open mind as to children being the products of their environment and their own impulses and try to be grateful for that what you just described is the extent of her issues with other children.
@Video_Game_King: Would you kindly stop kicking the poor guy while he's down? I'm sure even you can find something more constructive to do than huffing and puffing and blowing down the little piggie's domicile. I don't know, video games, maybe. Or perhaps you have a deep-rooted need to inform a parent of the wolf in sheep's clothing that he, oh so brazenly, refers to as his child? Don't bother, I'm not interested in your answers after what I've seen today.
