mgburg, thanks for posting that. You are correct in that mom and dad are not on the same page about dealing with their wild kid. The last thing I heard is that the shrink wants to put the boy, and the dad, on medication to tame their anger issues(!). I feel so lucky that we didn't have to deal with that kind of stuff. Then again I made every effort to squash the misbehavior in our kids as soon as I saw it when they were just toddlers.

As far as hitting, I would not smack any one else's kid. Its not my place to. I also don't know where to go from here. Technically its none of my business but I can't stand by and watch an impending train wreck either.
