Thank you for all your comments, and for this especially - I have ordered it! The remote control picture sounds like a useful one. A friend elsewhere reminded me that a while ago I talked to DS about the fact that people tend to be irrationally afraid of people they perceive as not like them, and sometimes they do unpleasant things (teasing in this case, in other cases murder) as a reaction to being afraid. DS might not understand why, but he's previously met the idea that that's something people do, so that may also be something to remind him of.

I'm sorry you and your DS had to go through this (or worse) too: here's hoping he's seen the last of it.
