history: We were having a big family gathering and dinner today, and one of my nephews, who's four, wasn't feeling well. But his parents kept trying to force him to eat something anyway, and were being short-sighted. Well, the poor fella ended up puking onto his plate and ending everyone's appetite.

I feel sorr for the poor guy!
current: Yeah, me too! I tried to comfort him afterwards. There's only so much you can do. No one was brave enough to chastise the parents for trying to get him to eat more than he should.
next: Yea, they're his parents. I can imagine everyone being hesitant about telling them what not to do with their own child.
