It wouldn't matter if he said that when you were moving him from point a to point b or serving him up a second helping of Spaghetti O's. Same consequence.
So instead you mock the child, and encourage others to mock him as well. You can call it whatever you want, put whatever spin on it you want. It's mocking, it's bullying and you encourage others to do it, too. That is incredibly unprofessional.
OP, PLEASE speak to the parents about this child's inclination to say you hurt him when he is unhappy with you. He might just do it at home, too.
