I have 2 kids. I have a dog and a guinea pig. I've teached my children to always approach the pets with calmness, respect and leave them alone is they don't want to interact. I also thought my dog to respect my children and act calm around them. The guinea pig is a naturally more reserved animal so no issues on that end.
Never had a single issue as a parent with pets. My youngest literally shushes people who speak too loudly next to our guinea pig and my dog is incredibly protective of my children.
You have to teach kids to respect the animal and make the animal understand they aren't above the children either. Make them understand they are supposed to be friends.
If the child continues to misbehave and mistreat the pet even after multiple attempts of you trying to calmly shut the situation down, beat the shit out of that fucking brat and force his nigger ass to understand he's a piece of shit for abusing animals.
