It is not up to your friend to resolve this. Clearly her grandson lacks empathy. It sounds like quite a difficult situation. She needs to model kind behaviour when she sees him.

It’s not nice to be isolated, but he didn’t show himself up to be a very nice person, did he?

He has always had friendship problems. He seems to lack empathy.

A friends grandson was on a scouts camping trip in the summer.One of the boys got very upset and homesick even though it was a short trip. When my friends gs got back to school he gleefully told the class about what a baby and wimp the other boy had been and mocked him.
Instead of joining in the other boys turned on the gs for being mean and now no one will speak to him.He has apologised but now the others are making up stories about him and generally isolating him. The teacher has not noticed and we are afraid if she gets involved it will show gs is a telltale. How can she resolve this.
