I read this Singaporean case where a child started calling the other names and then each told their mothers and the mothers started to get involved, until even the fathers started to fight each other, well almost, and the police had to be called.

Well, most Singaporeans live in HDB flats which are really tight places with not much privacy. Maybe the pressure got to the adults too, but I feel that when children tease each other, or even fight with each other, mildly, even if the children are siblings, the parents should not get involved.

Children are like this and I have seen many similar cases, where they fight today and get back together the following day, with the parents ended up as enemies! Of course, I am not going to judge who is in the right or who is in the wrong. I am not even trying to guess who is telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Now, the children even have a phobia to leave their house or to attend school fearing that they will be confronted by the adults. I think this whole ordeal has been totally unnecessary.
