Don't discount the possibility of learned behavior, in the second case. In the first case, yes, it sounds like an overreaction. But in the second... I can tell you from rather personal experience that kids learn things from adults and will enact those things on other more vulnerable kids. Sometimes they know what they're doing, and other times they don't... but don't automatically assume they don't. I'd be checking that kid's home life pretty thoroughly.
