The fact that the kid could easily get into the safe makes it no such thing.

Maybe something good can come out of it. The kid has serious issues which hopefully he gets intense therapy for, rather than not killing his dad and growing up being some psycho killer that terrorizes the general public.

Bro. You can’t just accept this. Get the kid in therapy before he becomes a horrible adult.

Harsh? Come on, man. Help the kid!

You sound like you're talking about a 50 year old alcoholic abuser that got 3 divorces and is now dirt poor because the women always won the lawsuits

My daughter has "reactive attachment disorder" and she can behave like this. She is adopted from a rough first few years of life and being in the foster system for a while before we took her and her older brother in.

Like you said below, as she gets older she is getting better at controlling impulses, but not 100% and so when she does get upset she is stronger and more dangerous. 2024-2025 school year was super rough for us. She went to the ER many times, as it was the only support we could utilize for the kind of violence she was exhibiting, and eventually we were able to get her into a child psych unit for a few weeks and then into residential treatment. It was tough; we had to push back on very judgemental hospital staff, drive am hour one-way for weeks to visit her in residential, call the governor's ombudsmen, and just generally do a ton of work to get her the help she needed.

At one point, the psych unit's family coordinator, who's job was basically to convince us to bring her back home after a week of them basically only sedating her asked if we were ready to bring her back home. And when we told her that we weren't because we expected her to rapidly move back to violent behaviors, she insisted we were going to have to, so I asked "and what if we don't?" She threatened to call DHS. So I leaned into the camera and said "great, let's do that then". I believe this to be the only reason we got a successful referral to residential treatment.

All of this was necessary treatment for my daughter. She is doing much better now. She has an IEP, which has placed her in an "emotional support classroom" and is on some good meds that are definitely helping. That said, she is still exhibiting violent behaviors from time to time. The trend is moving in the right direction, but she still has rough days.

So anyway, I encourage you to seek help with this. It can be VERY HARD. You may be forced to make tough decisions and push back against people who are very judgemental and even making scary threats about you being an abusive or neglectful parent. They do not know your child. They do not know you. They do not know your home life. You must do what is right to being peace and safety to your home, even with these challenges. Good luck. Please feel free to reach out with questions or a non-judgemental ear to bounce off of.

Have you considered having him visit a therapist?

He may have unresolved emotions that would benefit him (and people around him) to come out.

Child therapists pretty much “play” with them so it’s something kids don’t get annoyed/bored (or even give them a lot of thoughts)

We need more guns to be able to defend ourselves against children with guns. Write your Congressman today.
