Say if this kid is your kids friend,then when the other
kids in the neighborhood come around this kid turns
on your kid and bullys him/her then this kid comes back as if nothing happened. Why can't this kid be your kids friend at all times even when others are
around.This is true if the other kids dislike your kid.
If a kid can not be your kids friend when the others
are around then they are not a true friend.

this sounds like the bully is an insecure child to begin with one that is only interested in being in the "in" crowd a child who wants a real friend but is caught up in the clicks and cruelty of school yard antics. Especially if your child isn't the most popular etc. They don't want to be grouped into the uncool kids but they honestly like your kid. This person can be a true friend but has personal issues that need to be resolved before that can happen.

Here's something to think about!!!
Just supposing. . . This kid who befriends your kid IS really your kid's friend. . .but can only show it by taking on the bullying in front of the other kids. . . IN ORDER TO PROTECT YOUR KID...AND KEEP THE OTHERS FROM DOING POSSIBLY MORE HARM BECAUSE OF BEING IN A GROUP.
I'm not saying this is the case, but it COULD BE.
Each person who answered thought your child's friend was no friend. Perhaps he really is and isn't being recognized as such because he seems to waffle back and forth depending on who's around. You kid's friend may just be using a bit of psychology or why isn't he ALWAYS hanging around with the group rather than your kid???
Possible. . . ???

That Kid that makes your kid feel bad outside while others are watching is not your kids friend at all. If your kid wants to do anything about it he/she should simply as the other kid to stop. If the kid even tries to change and act differently then maybe he really is his friend. But if your kid asks that other kid to stop and he just continues with the same thing then you as a parent step in and kick his little rude self out of your houseand kids life and explain to your kid that everyone who says they are ur friend doesnt mean that they are. I had to go through it with my nephew and believe me he's learned from it.

No, they are not a true friend. Some people like to show off when around others. It makes them feel special. I would tell this kid not to be friends with someone who treats him like that. The other kid is just craving attention, even though it is all bad.

I learned this that kid that bullied ur kid is the other bully's opponent the bullies dont like ur kid because of something so u can either tell ur kid that he/she should stop hanging out with that kid and find a TRUE friend to hang with

I realize this may sound corny, but I'm 65, I have had alot of 'friends' that only quit being friends when things don't quite go the way they want them to be. A true friend, is one that comes to help without you asking, a friend doesn't run you down when you're not around. A friend knows when you're hurting without you even saying a word. I had over a hundred 'friends' untill the night I got saved.........I only saw one a couple of years later. Now my friends are real friends, they may not be that many, but they are there !! God Bless !

I myself have never had this happened to me but, maybe your kid's friend is just trying to fit in with the "cool" kids. If this friend/bully keeps on doing this then your kid should start looking for a new friend.

Probably because the kid is afraid to be seen with your kid.
Maybe the other kids he knows thinks he is weird in a way so when all the other kids come he acts like he doesn't know your kid just to look cool.

It sounds to me like the bully kid has some insecurity issues.He is trying to make it look like he is mean when he truly feels less.Remember that it also could be a sign that there is problems at home.That's what makes it so hard to do something about it.Maybe you could try to invite him inside for a glass of lemonade and have a nice talk with him.Good luck.I hope everything works out for you and your child.

I think the kid is a bully and I would try my best to keep him away from mine. Sounds like he has mental issues. I have seen this before, I think its when the parents dont approve of or want the child. I think thats how they turn out if unwanted.
