I don't think you were being harsh at all! I would've said the same thing. My parents have a pool as well, and it was amazing when I was younger how many kids in the neighborhood wanted to be your BFF during the hot summer months! Also, this kid has hurt your child, and I don't have kids myself, but I know when someone hurts someone that I love, I don't forget that! Kid or not, my kids feelings come first!
This kid probably expected a "yes" because it sounds like his parents don't put their foot down with him, he probably gets everything he wants, and this was the first time he ever heard "no".
