I feel bad for that kid if no one modelled good/expected behaviour they aren't going to magically learn it and it sounds like the mother indulges their whims which is never a fun combo. Kid is probably going to learn a painful lesson at some point that they should've learnt long ago without the violence.

Can't imagine how hard it is for the other kids either. Doing the 'right' thing and the kid just being awful. Just awful all round.

Some turn it around. I had another child who was an absolute nightmare for every teacher but me. They seemed to like me so behaved well whenever I was around (they were never in my actual class).

I find out that the very first week at secondary school they get caught with a knife, expelled and sent to a PRU - essentially a school for the pupils with behaviour problems that normal schools can’t deal with. They spent a year in the PRU before being back in a normal school - graduated with qualifications and by all accounts is now making a good life for themselves whilst looking after their younger siblings. The PRU did the job the child’s parents couldn’t and turned a child’s life completely around and I’m confident that without it they would either be in prison or dead right now.

Good for them!

Hopefully they can make sure their siblings do the best they can there. And more people who need it feel the benefit of a PRU like that kid. Though it's not a one size fits all thing it does seem like it can be a really useful tool of last resort.
