Sounds like the kid is The Bad Seed.

A very successful 1954 novel (and subsequent play and movie), The Bad Seed, explores the topic of murderous children.

From Wikipedia: “In the decade the novel was published, juvenile delinquency began to be far more common, or at least more extensively reported and documented. Compared to earlier history, the idea of child crimes was a new phenomenon. A controversy about nature and nurture arose as psychiatric explanations were proposed for juvenile delinquency, with the debate being whether inborn tendencies (”nature”) are more or less important than environmental factors (”nurture”) in explaining deviant behavior.

“Supporters of the “nature” side suggested that some people are born evil or with malicious tendencies. The idea that nature prevails over nurture is implied in The Bad Seed. March incorporates the notion that a murderous genetic trait is being passed down through the generations. “

Not Amish...hard to tell from photo (might not be current) but doesn’t look like an outsized gentle giant type kid either.

Just imagine this kid when he reaches adolescence - weighs north of 200 lbs - and has a bad attitude.

Not even I would turn my back on that.

Why allow them to merely hone their skills until they can be administered an adult sentence? How is this fair to the string of dead victims these little thugs will leave in their wake of violence?

At 8 years old, I had already pegged my nephew as evil and dangerous. I predicted then he would grow up and kill or be killed. He didn’t disapoint me. He was in and out of jail and committed murder at 19 years old.

He had great parents and a brother who grew up just fine. He was just plain mean and evil.

We’ve been told the word “thug” is racist. So I think you’re using the word improperly, at least as far as the race-hustlers are concerned.

Nobody is being served well with a 10 year old in adult prison.

Except maybe the pedophiles

“So his mom can give him a hug,”

Ah, poor thing. I’d hug that animal with barbed wire.

We are all “murdering little turds” by Jesus’s standard. Character assassination counts.

My mother is in a clean and beautiful nursing home in a dicey neighborhood (I didn’t realize that when we made the switch from the emergency room to rehab to nursing home in a bit of a panic - my mother seemed to be dying in the rehab center). If anyone hurts my 90 year old mother, if I had the connections, I’d have the mob kill them. To murder a elderly woman is a taboo that should never, ever be broken.

By calling on a curse as your support, you invest yourself in the curse. Good luck trying to get it to let go of you later.
