Holy hell,
I agree with Dev if I pulled crap like that as a kid my mom would have throw the system away, after she picked it up and beat me with it.
Also agreed, if your kid acts that way...90% chance its your own damn fault. I don't want to hear about stunting emotional growth or special needs, or that he needs medication. Children need a damn beating.
Hell, everyone the next time you see a kid acting up in public, just walk up and say excuse me Mrs or Mr; then round-house the kid in the back of the head into the dirt.

In all seriousness though, parents today suck; and the media helps that out by pushing the fault of bad parenting onto everything else. The video-game/music/movies/tv/drugs made little Billy skull fuck little Susie to death...not the parents who didn't monitor what he was doing/watches/ plays/ etc...hell we can't expect parents to be parenting now can we?
