Does too much nature make a person go crazy?

@cherokeepatti oh no! What’s going on?

@Jeephikelove a 10-year old bully causing problems with other children (hitting, kicking, even an incident with a BB gun) and he has used a sling-shot on my home, drags a long stick around wandering the neighborhood looking for cats to harass, has strewn stuff in yards, stuff coming up missing in yards (was seen prowling in my back yard), and much more. He is full of rage and defiant, guess I need to stick a camera up because I've told him I'll call the police if he comes back here and steps a foot in the yard or does anything else to the boy I'm raising. Another child saw him kicking the house on Sunday....my car was in the driveway, I heard something but looked out and didn't see what happened.

@cherokeepatti holy crap!!! That’s a lot to deal with! Do you know his parents?

@Jeephikelove These people bought a house around the corner about 2 1/2 years ago. I don't know them, the father divorced the mother this year, the boy is full of rage. But the problems with the boy started long ago, like 5 years ago, he broke another boy's arm on the playground so he doesn't go to regular school (either alternative or home-schooled)...when the kids get off the bus he's riding his bike up to them demanding them to play with him, most of them are avoiding him or telling him no and he's vengeful about it. He got angry at the boy I'm raising because he told him he has to do homework and read for an hour and doesn't have every afternoon to play outdoors for hours. I think the kid is going to be very dangerous one day. (One boy about 13 shot two brothers with a crossbow this week, one of the boys died....this boy had previously been violent and shot at people with a BB gun...[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhUDHauOX3g]

@cherokeepatti 😰 omg!!! Why does a kid have a crossbow!!? Sounds like that other kid is heading for disaster (as you fear). Wow what do you do with s kid like that? He must have a mental illness of some sort. ODD maybe?

@Jeephikelove The thing these days is that some of the medication for mental problems is making the kids not have a conscience....research is proving it with certain medications and even over-the-counter painkillers and allergy meds can do the same. But yeah, if a kid has used a BB gun on someone why not take it from him, and why furnish with something worse? I think it's worse than ADD or whatever, seems like a mood disorder or personality disorder. He can't stand to be alone, demands others play with him and is vengeful when he feels rejected. He doesn't respect boundaries either, and has been chasing the cats and trying to torment them. I think I'll have a little talk with the lady who has cats, she has a security cam and maybe it'll show something.

@cherokeepatti wow, just wow. It does sound like ODD (Oppositional Difiant Disorder) I hope he doesn’t hurt your boy or anyone else for that matter. Christ!

@Jeephikelove I've confronted him 3 times about it and he always blames him for it....mine was running from the time he got off the bus trying to avoid him and then having to turn around and defend himself from the kid. I walk down and watch now and hide behind my neighbor's truck sometimes just to see. When I witness one more incident I'll call the police, there needs to be an intervention and the mother needs to be held accountable. I've only seen her with him twice and both times he was trying to tell her something and as soon as he started talking she'd yell at him to shut up and he would walk off screaming like a Banshee. She's probably at least half the kid's problem.

@cherokeepatti omg ya she’s clearly a terrible mother! No wonder the kid has anger issues! He needs a hug

@Jeephikelove I'm sure he does but you know that when we are nice to him he eventually shows his true colors, he is mean even when people are being nice to him. He shot a little girl with his BB gun after he was invited to a neighbor boy's birthday party. The police should have been called then.

@cherokeepatti yes the police should have!! He needs help before he kills someone

@Jeephikelove There needs to be a record of what he's doing, the parents need to be held accountable for providing him with toys that can do damage (Sling-shot and BB gun) and they need to get him into counseling at the very minimum.

I 100% agree!! @cherokeepatti
