Manta killing a baby was pretty cruel. Doing it in front of the baby's father was crueler.
But Manta did something that Arthur doesn't know; that wasn't Arthur's kid.
So not only does Arthur think that his kid is dead, but by the time he realizes it he'll have missed the kid's entire childhood. He gave Arthur Jr. to a couple with instructions to raise him to be the kind of person Arthur Sr. would be eternally disappointed in.
Then he killed a baby, one that wasn't Aquaman's.
The couple moved to Amity Park and renamed his actual son Dash Baxter.
The couple was not expecting their landlocked city to become home to ghosts, or for Dash to idolize the local hero and try to clean up his act.
Dash, for his part, thought that randomly getting freakishly strong was just a Liminal thing. And talking to goldfish. Also being able to breathe underwater.
Everyone in Amity Park was a little weird, Dash was just weirder than most.

...to be fair I do this while it's in sitting mode, too. Can't escape The Elbow Lean, RIP to my back.
ETA: before anyone says it, my vision is perfect, it's been checked, I'm just incapable of posture

Timmy bein Creepy (but not really)
When Tim spent time chasing Batman and Robin through the streets, he did a lot of "hurry up and wait".
While waiting, he would find ways to entertain himself.
He trained the crows to bring him money in exchange for food. He trained the stray cats to alert him when people got too close. He trained the stray dogs to track and do silent alerting when they found their quarry.
He spoke with small time thieves and learned how to pick locks and pickpocket. He spoke with the homeless and learned the best ways to disappear without a trace, even if the cops were right on his tail.
He stays up at odd hours, he sleeps in weird places, and he's mastered the art of waiting, so much that it's like waiting for the other shoe to drop just by being in the same room as him.
So when he became Robin, inevitably he came across as a little creepy.
Everyone soon accepted that he was Tim Drake and he was just Like That.
Then Damian came along.
Damian is absolutely convinced Drake is possessed by a demon, and he will prove it.
