Reply #38: I wonder if the parents ever properly disciplined that child. [View All]

Something tells me the answer is NO. The child seemed to be acting very undisciplined and disrepectful (hitting or trying to hit an adult), as an out-of-control 3 year old instead of a five year old. And there's a big diff in age appropriate behavior.

This child reminds me of a boy I know who is now about 15. Parents were complete idiots, always gave utterly inappropriate and inadequate discipline and penalties for acting out, bad behavior, etc. The kid is now a total mess, a liar, a phony, he steals, etc. But you could see it happening every step of the way from about the age of 2. Same crap with his older sister, who is the queen of car accidents and getting tickets from cops for speeding and car crashes. The parents cannot figure out why the kids are like this. Everyone else can figure it out who has watched it over the years.
