Have to say I was proud of my ten year old daughter. .... all the kids told me that her son would repeatedly run up behind another child, Joey, (my daughter's age), who happens to have Down Syndrome, and tease him and knock him to the floor. Both times my daughter saw this, she walloped him.

Before I could say anything to her, she told me very calmly, "Dad, even if you tell me not to hit him, if he's mean to Joey, I'm going to let him have it." I gave her my approval. Red heads are tough.
