So, my boyfriend has a pretty great family and I love most of them. Except there's this one kid. He is horrifying. He's about 8 or 9 I think. He is violent beyond normal kids. He has went up to a teenager who was minding his own business, dishing food up, and actually stabbed him with a fork, broke the skin. He goes up to kids, teenagers, adults, and hits/kicks/bites them and screams profanities and throws shit like big rocks at people. He doesn't seem to have a bad home life, his parents are filthy rich and don't discipline him at all (maybe that's part of it?) But perhaps there's underlying issues that nobody knows about? It's a constant issue when you're around him, he never behaves. I don't want him to grow up and be a murderous criminal. What do? Pic unrelated.

Actually, I was that kid. Those issues will settle themselves, but only if his parents teach it to keep its emotions inside.

It is.
He thinks he can do everything he wants without any bad consequence.

But it's impossible to be a criminal when you're rich

"He has went?"

Moar money = moar tools to facilitate your crimes, lad.
>He has went up to a teenager who was minding his own business, dishing food up, and actually stabbed him with a fork, broke the skin.
That guy didn't slap the shit out of him really?
> He goes up to kids, teenagers, adults, and hits/kicks/bites them and screams profanities and throws shit like big rocks at people.
How the fuck has this kid not gotten his shit stomped?
I'd fucking lose it if some kid tried playing that shit.

>his parents are filthy rich and don't discipline him at all (maybe that's part of it?)
thats the whole of it. let a child think they can get what they want by being violent and disrespectful then they will.
>I don't want him to grow up and be a murderous criminal
not up to you. you can't raise the kid because you aren't his mom. your options are limited. if it were me and this kid hit me i'd pop him right in his fucking mouth. the most you can do is set up boundaries with yourself and let that little fucker know if he fucks with you you'll smash his tiny balls up into his throat.
maybe one adult (you) setting boundaries with him might set a good example. if not, at least he'll know there's at least one person he can't fuck with.

a friend of mine was that way during childhood, he improved a lot through adolescence, still kinda fucked up, but way better, and yes, the parents is the problem, her mother didn't give any discipline or limit to him. There's not much you can do, talk to his parents won't work, because they will probably don't give a fuck and say some shit like "he is just a child!", my best advice is to stay away from him.

I think Elliott Rodgers can detest that

Yeah, people have spanked him after he's done terrible things and he went to his parents literally fake crying to manipulate them and they get pissed, "he's my child and I decide when to discipline him!"

Undisciplined kids try to get attention that way because they can't get it otherwise from their parents.
Disciplining your children (within reason) is a sign of love and care and the kids feel safer that way. It's akin to dog puppies and their cages in the first few months, they feel safe within. Too much freedom makes them anxious.
