Fable/child

Another stolen parable:
A two year old is playing in a sandbox in a public park while his parents watch. An older boy the parents do not know, about six or seven, wanders up with his mother and, before anyone can do anything, the older boy grabs the two year old and throws him to the ground. The two year old hits his head on the side of the sandbox and screams; there is no obvious injury but the child continues to cry.

The mother of the older boy, the perpetrator, rushes to him and says, "Oh, honey, what is upsetting you?"
