A lot of responses from people that clearly do not have young children. Not that this means they are right or wrong, just interesting its own right. You wouldn't try teaching calculus to your toddler. You'd have a hard time teaching many 30 year olds why you're right on technical and/or ethical merit in this situation. Regardless of what lessons you may help your child learn from this, what they will remember most prominently will be how you made them feel. Be supportive. Help them figure out a plan to earn an iPhone, if they want. Bullies will continue to bully, but don't make it your fault -- they will learn these lessons on their own.
