Oh Fiddlesticks!

A kid has personal belongings stolen and is upset by it (fair). The parents do nothing to help and they leave the playground without their son's toy. Instead of helping him they make their young child address the bully who stole it from him and use “please” to ask for his own belongings back.

This book (I think) was meant to address how to deal with anger in a useful way; however it instead teaches that parents/authority aren't going to help you and that if you are upset and let them know that you'll be punished.
