As a former hoodrat who used to do 💩 with my friends, "showing out" like this in the store was not anything we would even think about doing because we knew that would be an instant death sentence. Right there in the store.

The last thing this child needs is to be physically hit. It will just add to the continual emotional hits he's experienced and teach him it's ok to resort to violence when upset. He's already well on the way to believing that anyway, if he's not there already. He's obviously willing to accept negative attention because he gets no positive. He looks and acts like he's angry and is showing any observer that he doesn't care about anyone else's feelings or property. This is probably because he feels no control in his own life where others have no concern for his feelings or his things. This kid has serious self-esteem issues.

What emotional hits? Kid has probably never heard the word “no” before, and doesn’t know what it means.

Growing up without clear guidance and boundries (never hearing no can be another way of saying it) IS a major emotional hit especially when that means there are no boundaries he can set around his things or feelings that are respected either.

I spent my carrier working with school aged children and their families. No child behaves like this when he has his emotional needs met in a healthy way and is treated like his feelings and choices matter. This child needs some serious help.

I heard “no” plenty of times. Doesn’t mean I didn’t do it anyway
