Kids fist fighting as adults look on?

I just came from work and saw the most disturbing thing. There two little boys no older than 7 or 8 fist fighting while adults watched and laughed. What made it worse was one little boy split the others lip and he ran home crying, while the adults laughed at him as he ran. It broke my heart. Would you condone this behavior? Why take pleasure in little kids hurting each other?

Those adults exhitited very bad behavior and set a very bad example for the children. Unfortunately, in situations like that, you probably have not heard the last of it. Grudges carry over and if there are older siblings to get involved, this can turn into a very dangerous problem. Adults should think before they act so recklessly.

I would yell at the adults and I would never take pleasure in it. If my child had been fighting with another he would get punished because i believe fighting is the sign of a foolish man. A wise man uses his words not his fists, and the adult looking on are just horrible people.
