How the local village kids treat her is nothing more than a nitpick, that hardly changes Pudding's backstory or her development. Pudding's biggest and baddest bully by far was Big Mom herself. The Queen that was supposed to protect her caused her the deepest and longest lasting trauma in her mind, not some generic no-name children. Because Big Mom picked on Pudding, that made it okay for everyone else in the Charlotte family, everyone else in Tottoland to bully her for the third eye.
What can we guess are principles or moral guidelines in the Big Mom family?
That it's okay to stab and kill people you don't like. Did Anana want the knives because she was being bullied herself? The only reaction to this is to give her knives and let her take care of her own problem. We saw Pudding in a rampage flailing a knife at her bullies. Pudding may not be the only child suffering from the same development. Big Mom could be treating fishmen and long arm children the same way as her flashback or maybe she's gotten used to them by now, but the thing that we're certain of is that Pudding is the only third eye in Tottoland and therefore that puts a special target on her no one else has.
Let's look another crew: the Whitebeard Pirates. Why were thousands of men willing to give up their lives just to rescue Ace? Why was the crew meeting its potential demise worth this one life? Because it was a matter of principle.
You touch one of his sons, you touch of any of his friends, and you can expect the Strongest Man in the World leading his pirate army to send you its full wrath. And the result was that people the world over were afraid of touching his men. That's a lesson you never forget. Big Mom shows that type of behavior not for her children, but when objects of her desire like her candy tribute or Mother Caramel's picture are at stake.
What would Big Mom do if Snack was captured and about to be executed at Marineford? Probably strip him of his title and let him die, Snack is just another puppet of Big Mom. Not worth risking an army for. Snack was birthed to advance Big Mom in the world, not out of love. If she doesn't care, why should the local bullies care? Children do not behave very rationally, self-reflect, or understand consequences. They're free to bully someone like Pudding and other Charlotte children until a rare responsible figure like Katakuri steps up. Another like Daifuku might slap her again. Hell, the family bullies each other even if you remove the outsiders. That's the kind of environment Big Mom allowed to foster by ruling like a tyrant rather than a parent. Pudding was doomed from birth.
