How can you reform a kid like that, anyway?

I wonder this too, but I hope that they can be. Sometime though I think that some kids are just pretty much wired wrong from the get-go. A lot of creepy serial killer types showed abusing behavior when they were really young.
And I think those who are suggesting that parental punishment is the answer may be a little optimistic about what the parental authorities are like in cases where the kids are this out of control this early.
Do you suppose that you go from peaceful well-adjusted kid to stomping kids to the point of hospitalization overnight? If effective parental response was coming, I think they would have already gotten it.
