Can a violent child truly be rehabilitated?

That is damn disturbing, especially when he looked around to see the adults turn away and hit that little girl.

Also: Don't read the youtube comments. Too much ignorant ****. Those ignorant people act like there haven't been videos of white kids or hispanic kids doing the same ****.

I'm more interested in the psychological aspect of the behavior of children when it comes to violence.

yes, I believe that child can be rehabilitated

Sure, but can you give a reason why you believe that?

Is there some logic or reason, statistics or data..anything to make you feel like that?

I'm not saying you are right or wrong, just wondering where your belief comes from.

Whoa.

Couldn't bear to watch the whole thing.

The only way I think this child can be rehabilitated is by first understanding WHY he performs these violent acts in the first place. It seems to be only on the girls. Maybe he's seen his share of violence at home with his parents?? Older sister and her boyfriend?? Who knows.

I don't have any data, and I don't even know where to look for that. I just don't see why behavior specialists would not be able to help this child

Man was created in gods image

Yes.
WHOOP HIS *** no joke. I'm willing to bet there is NO father figure in his life and his mom seamed all but ok with him "fighting other kids but not babies".

Every time i've seen a kid like this two things are almost always present
1. Mother was using drugs during pregnancy
2. Mother encourages him to be violent.

I have a cousin who has no good got damn reason to be having kids, she has 4, and 1 of them is ...was...bad as sin. VERY much like this kid, little man was just mean. Sister and brother in law took him in while my cousin was going through some shyt and in the course of about 2 months dude went from WIL'N OUT to being a pretty respectable kid.

My brother in law more or less said that he had to spank him a few times but would always talk to him and eventually the kid mellowed out when he learned the rules.

Now i'm not saying ALL kids are like this i'm just assuming this kid has had a pretty bad influence in his life.

It depends on if the child has a true chemical imbalance or something medically wrong with them. Many are able to be helped but some arejust are wired wrong unfortunately.

they said that was his aunt. seems to point to an even less stable family situation

Did y'all see him kick that little girl in the back?

Could've seriously hurt her.

yeah I bet he does whatever the hell he wants and the aunt either doesn't care or doesn't know how to deal with him.

Get him under 24 hour surveillance ASAP. I don't think his aunt is competent enough to raise him, she thinks this is "normal" behavior. He's already on meds so either therapy isn't having any noticeable effect or somethings not right at home.

Of course a violent child can be rehabilitated. I'm sure worse children have turned out fine.

Ive seen worse kids rehabilitated with a proper father figure. O, and brazillian jiujitsu.

If murderers have found a way out of that sickness im sure a bad child can. Come on bruh
