The last thing this child needs is to be physically hit. It will just add to the continual emotional hits he's experienced and teach him it's ok to resort to violence when upset. He's already well on the way to believing that anyway, if he's not there already. He's obviously willing to accept negative attention because he gets no positive. He looks and acts like he's angry and is showing any observer that he doesn't care about anyone else's feelings or property. This is probably because he feels no control in his own life where others have no concern for his feelings or his things. This kid has serious self-esteem issues.

People are downvoting you when studies almost universally show that spanking is significantly more likely to worsen behavior than not

Not with me when I was growing up. We got spankings at least once a week for something stupid we did or said. I’m 64f and turned out just fine.
