   Children are extremely rarely (I'd even say never) needlessly cruel, mean spirited, cowardly, greedy, uncurious or full of themselves. (And if they ever are they picked it up from a grown up.)

   Please do not refer to the awful fascist adults currently doing terrible things as children or babies.

   Kids deserve more respect than to be used as insults.

     @pezmico Corollary: when kids are all that, it's an immediate red flag that a parent is teaching them to be that way (and is likely abusive) and should be grounds for intervention.
