I have a children's bill of rights. It's posted in my entry. One of those is the right to choose their own playmates. They also have the right to play alone, and feel and be safe. This child is infringing on their rights and they won't allow it.

If you're mean, you no one wants to play with you. It's a natural consequence. The kids are practicing social skills.

Turn it around on her. Would she want her child being forced to play with someone who is treating them badly? Or would she want her son to learn to stand up for himself and POLITELY decline being treated that way.

The only bullying I see here is this child being mean to everyone, and his mom enabling him by trying to force other children to deal with his behavior rather than fix it.
