a very close friend of mine who i grew up with and have known my whole life has three beautiful kids and a great husband who would do anything in the world for her. But there is a problem. Her oldest son is 7 and he is like a devil child or something. He beats up his younger sister and brother who are only 2 and 3 years of age. They have tried everything they can think of to calm him down like spankings, grounding him, and even trying anger managment. Nothing seems to work. My friend, who's name is Kim is having problems now with stress. She gets sick and sometimes can't sleep. Her son is making things even worse. He never listens to what he is told and even smacked kim before. They have no idea on what to do with him. The situation is getting way out of control. What do you suggest she do?

This child has some serious mental issues..they need to find a good psychiatrist for him..He needs to be medicated..Yelling wont work time-outs wont work..spankings wont work these thinga will only work if they bring the child into compliance..without proper mental health treatment this child will only get worse.

Start with a pediatrician and then go to a psychiatrist and HURRY. The kid needs help very badly and so do the parents.
