Speak out of love and care and you will get much farther. Let them know you have a Yorkie too and talk about how much fun they are... If you start off friendly you will be received as a friend. Hope it goes well. |
Excellent advice

.
This is how you have to approach a parent who is abusing their child ("I sure know how frustrating these kids can be", etc.). Just like here on YT, people listen better when information is delivered respectfully. ..... Now that being said, there is no guarantee how your information is received (but it will still be processed better after you leave if you are respectful). You can only control how you give it.
How wonderful for you guys to look out for this little one. I hope and pray that your confrontation goes well.
