They're young and I try to be tolerant cause in the end he's as much a part of society as anyone else. But he's kind of a mean little shit that is friendly to my kid. I believe he has a diagnosis for something, I didn't want to pry and ask his parents. He's the kind of kid that sees red when he gets mad and can't control it. I have no idea why my kid gravitates towards him but also glad he can make friends with people like this cause I truly believe if you don't support kids like this they'll be ostracized and fall into some pretty terrible online influences etc as they get older. But man it's like stressful to hang out with him. He's so antagonistic and mean spirited. Alas, such is parenting.

I would just say to give the good kid a good chance but be aware that he could be an unhealthy factor in your child's life. If it looks that way, go ahead and speak to the parents about it. If they're not receptive, you know that it's not going to get better.
