DEAR AMY: Your recent series of letters about parents bullying their children broke my heart. I agree that intervening is necessary. I've wondered if it would be effective to address a child being bullied by a mother, "Your Mommy's kind of mean, isn't she? I hope nobody's that mean to your mommy."
Interventionist
DEAR INTERVENTIONIST: I don't like your wording, but I applaud your intent.

Disclaimer: I have not read the ones on the bullying parents.
Are the parents actually bullying or are they parenting? Because there is a big difference.
Some said they were some said no. It's hard to see one incident in a parking lot where a parent is yelling at a kid and think the parent is bullying the kid. You don't know the history. You don't know what has gone on all day. IMO
