Kids can definately notice when another kid is off kilt. I think adults can see it often but often they need to stay somewhat neutral so that someone doesn't get stigmatized and ultimately has no chance of being anything but what people think.

In some ways we have made this worse by discouraging any type of conflict in children. In some ways they know how to dish out informal punishment possibly correcting bad character faults before people reach adulthood.

Agree with this, kids need to know how to deal with bullies, using a "diverse" array of robust coping strategies.
