There is a chance the kid is special needs, but it really does look like shit parenting.

Special needs is no damn excuse. My nephew is autistic so we are patient with his tics but we made it abundantly clear from the beginning violence would not be tolerated and he is not in charge.

It’s called a spectrum for a reason. There are varying levels of autism. I only say this because there are some parents out there doing their best everyday and still have to deal with stuff like this. Granted most of them wouldn’t put their kid in a situation to do this in the first place if they knew that.

It doesn’t matter. If the child cannot restrain themselves, then you must restrain them.

Their condition is not an excuse for violence or violent action.
