What would you do if this was your son?

It's terrible that a five year old can't dress how he wants to, without fear of being made fun of. At that age, you shouldn't have to worry about society's bullshit.

Like I said in my first post, it's not really cool for other parents to react to it, but it's 100% normal for other kids in the class to make fun of him.

For christ's sakes, it's a little boy dressed as a girl with a wig and a dress and everything. I would have had a field day as a 5 year old.

That's not society's bullshit, that's how little kids form social norms from a young age. Like I said, as long as they're not so relentless that he wants to jump off a bridge, then being made fun of by your classmates for stuff like this is totally normal, and happens in schools every day.

Yet it seems the kids had no problem with the costume

Probably seems that way because the mother isn't able to sit in class all day with the kid and see the grief he's going through. So she spoke about the grief she encountered, from the other parents.

Coming from other parents, that is ridiculous indeed. But I'm sure there are kids in the class that are ragging on him for it, it's just the way it works.
