I have a 5 year old son, and although no one is abusing him, is so angry an hateful.
His favorite word is "No"...I once drove him past an amusement park full of pretty rides and asked if he wanted to go there, and he just said no and kept looking ahead. He does the same thing if you show him a toy in a store or something and ask if he'd like it, he says no.
He doesn't like to be touched or held, and pulls away.
He won't play with other children, always plays by himself, and snaps "Shut up!" if someone tries to talk to him.
I was once watching a child for a friend and put them in the backyard to play (It's fenced in). About 30 mins later, I looked out to notice the child crying. I ran out and saw his back was covered with black and blue bite marks from my son! His explanation for that was an "I dunno" shrug.
I bought a puppy, and one day came in the room to catch him biting her nose and listening to her yelp in pain. His explanation for THAT was "Cause it's funny"
We were once in a children's hospital, in the lobby, and hearing a child in a room screaming because she was getting a shot...and he was rolling all over the floor (literally) laughing at her!
Actually, there are many other occassions where he laughed when someone got hurt, like when my husband slapped one time.
I cannot understand how an innocent child can be so mean and hateful. My husband says to take him to a pschiatrist, but I refuse to believe MY son has a mental problem! And I think parents take their kids there because they are too lazy to do their job as a parent--I WANT to! But I don't know even where to begin! I need help before we see him on America's Most Wanted in 15 years!
