There’s something special about childhood friendships: kids can become inseparable over something as simple as living a few houses apart or liking the same type of dinosaur. Most parents are happy to see their children find a friend nearby, but things can get complicated when a disagreement between kids pulls us parents into the middle of it. 

After moving to a small town with her 10-year-old daughter, this mother was thrilled to see her child quickly become close with a girl who lived down the block. However, an argument over a Barbie ended with the neighbor’s daughter repeating a racist insult she had heard at home, so the friendship took a very different turn. 

The mother shared the story on Reddit, explaining how the situation escalated into something nobody could have expected.

    In a town of less than 10,000 people you don't know why the cops didn't do anything? My sweet summer child. She was related to the mayor/police chief/someone locally "important". Most likely a few such people.
