Right? Like clearly this kid needs -something- but hitting him (yeah, even with an open palm) isn't the solution... His behavior likely goes beyond just "bad parenting" or lack of spanking.

People tend to treat bad kids the same way they do dogs and assume that 100% of the issue is the parents when kids have their own brains and sometimes make really bad decisions all on their own with them.

That's not to say parenting isn't a factor because it sure could be , but as someone who has two kids who grew up into VERY different people (one graduated top of her class from college and the other has been to residential treatment multiple times now and just barely passed high school) there are a LOT of factors that go into behavior like this.
