Maybe some would think I let them off too easy, but I'm utterly at peace with it. Kids can be cruel (God knows what kinds of problems they have at home, not that that excuses anything), and one hopes (and I assume) that they eventually see the light as they mature. I'm sure some would feel the need to apologize, while for others, perhaps, for myriad reasons, it's difficult. Whatever. I'm cool with it. If they go out of their way to flag me down and talk to me (as happened in both circumstances), I take that as apology enough. But I understand your point of view.
