Let's see -- we know he's 7, we know he's in the custody of his grandmother, we know he thinks doing bad things is fun, we know he took his grandmother's car for a joyride. We don't know if he has any mental disorders or illnesses, we don't know whether his parents are ill, dead, in prison or what. If you ask most 7 year olds, they're going to tell you that doing bad things is fun. They have no clue of the seriousness of their actions -- that's why they aren't charged (normally) or treated as an older child or adult once they've done something wrong. We don't know if he's normally a pretty good kid who just goes astray on occasion (like most kids do). Yet, we've decided his grandmother needs to be on this board, that the boy will be a handful as he grows older and that the child is a sociopath in the making.
Wouldn't it help to get the facts before we judge? Sorry, but there is nothing "soft" about this thread.
