crying, and allowing a child to feel the full range of his/her emotions (including being so sad that they cry, and allowing them to do so) is NOT negligent.
You could just casually say "Oh is M having a rough morning?" and I'm sure you will get a "YUP!" response only. We really can't share child specific situations with other parents without breaching privacy. eg. Parents are getting divorced, and child is missing other parent. Child has separation anxiety and comforting him/her physically makes it worse. Child is transitioning to a toddler bed and not sleeping well, therefor tired, etc.
And being sad is okay!!
