Mom Responds to Bullies Who Made Fun of Her 10-Year-Old Son's Tony Stark Costume

We all love kids, but they can be incredibly cruel at times. Words can be extremely hurtful, and children often blurt out mean comments without thinking.

Jill Stahl Struckman is a proud mother of four from Missouri who shared an all-too-familiar story on Facebook when her 10-year-old son Evan called her in tears. It was his school's Halloween party, and Evan had decided to dress as Tony Stark (aka Iron Man).

Evan went all out with his costume, wearing a shirt, vest, slicked-back hair, and sunglasses, complete with a beard and mustache painted on his adorable face. Jill says Evan was fully in character and would only respond to 'Tony' or 'Mr. Stark.'

Evan was incredibly proud of his outfit until some mean kids made fun of him on the school bus. As soon as Evan got off the bus, he ran to the bathroom and washed off his makeup.

The sweet little boy was devastated and didn't want to attend the Halloween party anymore. He called his mom crying, and she immediately went to pick him up.

Jill took her son to a local Starbucks for a treat to cheer him up. After discussing his feelings, Evan decided that he didn't want to miss out on the party after all.

So, Jill took him home, redid his makeup, and Evan returned to school like a true superhero.

After Jill posted the story on Facebook, she received an incredible response from people everywhere. Some kind individuals even wanted to send Evan money, but instead, Jill provided a postal address where they could send Evan a card if they wished.

It's sad that kids can indeed be very cruel to each other. However, thanks to incredible parents like Jill, valuable lessons can be learned through experiences such as these.

Well done, Evan! We hope you have the happiest life ever!
