In reply to the discussion: Is Barron "off limits," here and elsewhere? [View all]RockaFowler
(7,429 posts)215. I felt so bad for that poor kid on Friday
Why did they put him in the back of the children?? He could have walked side by side with Tiffany and then let Eric go in the rear. He's a young child and they treated him like garbage at the event. I was so sad for him.

Adolescents & teens should be off limits. Children Uday & Qusay's age are fair game.

Off limits for criticism? Yes. Discussion of the good that his mother could do, championing autism..

Why do you feel compelled to go after a child after being asked by his mother to stop?

Teasing, picking on, making fun of or targeting a 10 year old is bullying, period.

Barron should be off limits. He is a child. Leave him alone, here and on other sites as well.

IMO Barron is going to need a lot of help before he's an adult by sheer virtue of growing up Trump.

You are defending speculating about him. Speculating is gossiping. Gossiping is bullying
