answer:First of all, big difference between the two scenarios. If the kid broke or stole something, the parents don’t get to shrug it off, they have to pay to fix or replace it. Secondly, if the kid said or did something that was demonstrably something the child should have known was wrong, but did it anyway, and the parents brushed it off, then the child is no longer welcome in my presence or with my child. To “make things right” the parents would need to apologize and also demonstrate that the child was appropriately disciplined.
