Screw the pieces in the driveway... I'll make the kid go with me to the pawn shop so they can watch me sell the box.  Be damned if I'm just gonna smash it in the driveway when I can get some beer money for it =)

"That's BULL****!"

That kid is a lost cause. I wont say it..but I can think to myself what Id like to see happen to him.

Aside from the fact that the little **** should get a severe beating, like i used to when i acted like a moron, the video itself was pretty funny.
Watching the virtual soldiers mouth move with that voice was classic.

Yeah, I'll admit, that part was classic!  

It pretty much made it worth sitting through the entire tirade.

Man, I don't even know where to start.........
The clip was almost funny, til you realize this little runt is not gonna change, not til life smacks him hard in the face.  And if what I saw is typical for his "mom" and her behavior, even that won't work.  She will be hysterical with the need to keep him from learning anything.

First, as a parent, he would have been told to get off the XBox ONE time, then I would have walked over and hit the power button myself.  No arguing, no yelling at him, no bargaining.
Second, he would have been given about 15 seconds to make up his mind whether he wanted to retain the game console for future use, or have me take it and lock it up for a minimum of two weeks.

I don't tolerate backtalk from my son, never have, never will.  I don't yell at him like she did either.  Sadly, what we all witnessed is/was the result of his upbringing.....you can bet your butt he is talked to that way, and it is a learned behavior.  
When I first watched the clip, I was too busy trying to sort out everything that was going on........second and third times, I turned off the monitor and just listened, and got way more out of it.  Seeing the stuff happening on the screen can be distracting.
Yeah, his little butt would be the focal point of an attitude adjustment.  If he were lucky, my handprints would be fading when or IF he made it to graduation from high school.
I see one of my son's friends act that way alot, and his parents give in and cater to him, just like the mom in the clip.  Makes me sick, but the root of his problem, much like our little online performer, is his parents.  He is just a result of their lack of parenting skills and a fundamental lack of respect for anyone other than himself........

eddiek hit it right on the head. That kid is the result of a lack of parenting and it will escalate as he gets older. He'll then be someone elses problem as he decides to take out his issues on people outside of his house. I won't say home as that structure is merely shelter to warehouse this brats butt.

There obviously has been no attempt to instill a sense of discipline (don't confuse discipline with punishment they are not the same) in this kid and it may well be too late to "salvage" this kid.

I'm genuinely curious, how would those of you who think what he did was wrong explain to him why his behavior and language are wrong?

[SFRT - Frenchy]

Why? you are trying to solve your own kid's behavior?

[Lazerr]

The sounds like he is about 10 years old, give him some time.. lol.

He'll get out of the house, talk like that to someone, and get his two front teeth punched out.  I bet he treats other people quite differently after that happens.

Poor mother, I bet the little **** hasn't his puberty yet either, shes got plenty more comin.

[deSelys]

Why SG, do you think that without a bible to refer to, notions like respecting, obeying to and being polite with his parents are impossible to explain... or enforce?

[Maverick]

Seagoon,

In English, the same way I'd be telling him he's grounded, his xbox is gone for a month minimum and any further use of that kind of language towards his mother would be grounds for additional punishment. This would be explained before, after and possibly during the application of my hand accross his bottom. That way he knows before the stimuli, what he did to deserve it and why it was applied as well as after the stimuli. Further lessons as to the behavior expected towards his mother, myself and any other adult would be provided on an as needed basis.

[eddiek]

Seagoon,

Are you looking for perfect theoretical way to explain why what he did was wrong?
Or a real world honest opinion?
I've voiced mine.  That child's mother could talk til she is blue in the face about why what he did was wrong, but he learned that behavior somewhere......wanna guess where?  
So.....what good would it do to explain it to him, when he is more than likely exhibiting behavior he learned there at home, from his parent(s).  That would be like a drunk telling a kid not to drink, a sailor telling a kid not to swear, a thief telling a child not to steal.....while the whole time the child is seeing this authority figure do EXACTLY what he is being told NOT to do.
I can tell you what works in my own home, but your and others' mileage may vary.
I'm not saying that child is beyond help, cause I worked with teens who had dual diagnoses of anti-social behaviors and drug dependence for a few years, and there IS help out there.  But fixing the child does not mean you fixed the problem.
That MOTHER needs help, as well as the child, and lots of it.
She got right down on that child's level and argued with him, when he needed her to be his parent and take some control of the situation.
