..a nine-year-old boy. Guess what? He had sent me a message 'f*ck you through the chatbox.'
Take note, I haven't said my opening spiel. 
Of course, I have to tell him that it is not good to say this.
I took a snapshot and reported him to the company. I don't mind if they will not do anything about it. My purpose is to have a record of this incident.

@Shavkat How would the company knew the character of the student in the first place. However, maybe they still accept or tolerate because of money or tuition fee. The company along the way should expel the student with that attitude.

It's good to have a record of this type of behavior.
You can't teach children not to curse. Children will do/say what they want, when they want. The best you can do is punish them for doing so... until the next time they choose to do it.

@DaddyEvil There is no guarantee. I still have some snapshots that staff did something bad during my class.

I remembered my friend before. He claimed that he cannot deal with this kind of bad behavior and teaching is not his calling. I must admit that I am always stressed out when dealing with this kind of student at first. In the long run, I just ignore it and pretend that he or she is not existing.

@Shavkat Just keep a record of it. I'm not sure what help that will/would be, but still...

@Shavkat It is not acceptable to anybody and it needs to be corrected when the child is young so that he does not get into problems in future. It is obvious parents are either not aware of it, or are at a loss how to correct the problem. In all probability, the child is learning it right at home or neighborhood.
My way would be - I am sure you are angry and frustrated. You have a right to be too. Because you are still young and have not experienced many things in life so you may not be able to understand. That said, using bad words is not going to solve any issue. In future someone might hit you as it becomes habit. Are you sure you want to be beaten up someday? Now, my suggestion is we solve the problem like this, and see if helps.
I know that sounds too verbose. But you are obviously better equipped with squeezing the points.
1. Acknowledge anger and give reasons for it;
2. Explain what could be the problem with bad words;
3. Leave the choice to the child as nobody likes to be ordered;
4. Steer away from the topic altogether.

Shame on that child the only way you are going to teach a child not to curse is not do it in front of them. One thing that was done in front of me and my sisters was the middle finger being stuck up .

@Tina30219 It was not an acceptable actuation and I need to be respected.
