Little kids are mean jerks - that's not exactly a news flash.

But the parents
have to make a big deal out of it. Other kids in the class have to know the danger of exposing this girl to peanuts.
And no, it's not on the same level as asking why your daddy didn't love you because he left. That hurts your feelings, but it doesn't risk landing you in the hospital or worse.
Little kids can be jerks, but this goes way beyond that. As the parent of young kids, I feel quite sure this kid had been told how exposure to peanuts can make this girl seriously ill. (My son can tell us which kids in his class have peanut or lactose allergies -- there's one of each. He doesn't make fun of them, he understands that peanuts or milk can make those kids sick and he's glad he's not allergic.) This kid isn't just a jerk, he's seriously mean.
