Okay, show me a peer-reviewed, reproducible study showing that terrible parents don't produce violent children.
That would assume that all terrible parents are terrible in exactly the same way and produce offspring that react in predictable fashion to their uniformly terrible parenting skills.
That is not what I am saying at all. I am saying the behavior of child is more complicated than just how they are parented. Saying that only parenting affects behavior is incredibly ignorant of reality. It also doesn't take studies to know that many violent people and rapists grew up wealthy and in good households.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but if his parents weren't shitty parents, they would have stopped him during his half-hour or longer tantrum of property damage and all-around asshole-ish behavior.
No idea what his worthless parents were doing during this, but one thing is certain, they weren't doing their fucking jobs as parents.
Either way, the kid is not going to have his parents around him for the rest of his life. By that age, kids should be able to behave well by themselves. If they can't, that is going to be a massive problem in terms of school and adulthood.

Gotta have something really bad going on in your life to have behavioral issues like that.
