Neighbor Kid is a Bully

Over the summer we moved to an area with a lot of kids that are around my daughter's age (most of them are between 5-8 years old). For the most part they all seemed to get along, but I've noticed more and more that one boy, 8, would pick on the other kids. He's very manipulative and uses his toys as means to get the other kids to do what he wants to do. And if a kid disagrees with him or says that they don't want to play with him, he will follow that kid around and yell at them about how they are wrong and bad friends. My daughter, 6, recently told me that he will push her in order to take something away from her. I don't know when this happened, but I told her to tell me immediately if he does that again.About a month ago, one of my neighbors asked this boy give her a toy that belonged to her child because they were going inside. The boy threw a fit and went crying to his mother. The mother went and screamed at my neighbor for not sharing with the boy and for telling the boy what to do. This past week he fought with another boy about monsters and threatened to hit him if he said one more thing about the monster. The mother defended him, saying that she didn't want her son believing in monsters anyway, but also apologized for her son threatening to hit the other boy.I don't feel like it's my place to tell this woman how to parent her kid, but I don't want my daughter suffering because of him either. All the neighborhood kids play together daily. Is it wrong of my to tell my daughter not to play with this boy? I worry if I do that, he'll harass her more, and that she'll be excluded by all the kids. Is there anything I can do short of immediately talking with the boy's mother every time I see him bullying the other kids? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2y9jFny
