Another thing to consider is that it seems as if in every culture certain swear words hold more weight then others. One of the worst words you can use to someone thats been in jail would be goof go figure, I mean they will want to kill you. I rememebr when I was in school and there were losts of foreign people and when you used the word Mother%$&*ker against them in anyway even if you were friends and as kids you may say it jokingly it didn't matter they would want to fight you on the spot. I guess what i'm saying is that swearing has different degrees of badness everywhere you go and most certainly is ever changing as culture clash and mesh together.
If the film is meant to be viewed by Adults and only by Adults it would seem like by todays film wizardery and by the likes of yester years film wizardery that they would be able to get the child actor to say something close to that bad word such as bunt and then change it later in the dubbing stages of the film. If your concerns are for the young person within the confines of making the film and saying such a word. Again, there is also the parents to consider that are allowing there children to say such a word for the film.
I don't have children, but I think that part of the sad reality of the world today is also the expectability humans as a whole seem to have embrace, reverded and condonded slur words and swear words as there everyday life vernacular so the unexcepted has now become excepted. the norm for older and younger generations of people to say in all types of circumstances. The sheer usage and frequency people and the media TV/films seem to use them at is alarming.
