My nephew is 10 years old. His school told his parents that they advise him to go to boot camp for at least one day a week. My brother and sister in law have not been raising him the right way. He plays adult video games. He has played violent video games that were rated for teenagers since he was 4 or 5 years old. Now he fights in school. His mother told him before its ok to hit girls when they bother him so now he even does that. He says he does not care about anything. His parents give all their attention to his three year old brother and two year old sister. I worry that even though he gets help from the boot camp He will come home and get the same treatment from his parents. Things will not Change at home and he will go back to fighting and getting into trouble. I know he is a smart and good kid and that he is only getting into trouble so he will get attention from his parents. Its a shame and unfortunately I can not do much cause my brother does not talk to me even when we are in the same room. I am not sure boot camp will help him I just think he needs his parents to change. Do you think sending him to boot camp will change him for good? My mom told today that they bought him a dinosaur that walks and makes noises and he said that he does not like it cause its not mean enough. Its obvious that the movies and video games he has watched has caused problems.
He will be going to the Boot Camp one day a week.
 
The children gets blamed and the parents don't change. Your right unless the parenting is corrected it wil be the same old same old.
 
Not sure if boot camp for one week then back to the same situation will solve anything. And for the record, the video games had nothing to do with making this child's behavior violent....might it have something to do with the fact that his mom told him it's ok to hit? Put the blame where it belongs...on the parents...not a video game.
 
The school is demanding change because they're most likely at the end of their rope with his behavior and the parents dont cooperate or help.

A child like this needs consistency at home & school... and yet the school is asking he be sent to bootcamp as a punishment for what the child has grown to see as normal behavior.

I think it falls on your brother as most boys will see their fathers as role models and if he sees that your brother (his dad) does not redirect his behaviors then the kid is seeing it as acceptable.

Bootcamp will not do any good if changes aren't made in the home too. And IMHO bootcamp should be a last resort.
 
Wow, he's violent. Certainly joining the army will make him less so!

But seriously, discipline, none at home, he has to get it from somewhere.
