Anybody watch Wife Swap last week where the little boy said he was going to stab

[live love laugh]

himself in the stomach? He was having a tantrum and it was funny but also alarming.

And then at the end the cowboy punched the boy's father in the face?

That little boy was totally out of control. He kept saying "I hate this stupid world", "I want to get out of this world." I can't imagine what kind of an adult he will be--if he lives to adulthood.

1. omg

I didn't see that but for a little kid to be saying he wants out of this world -- he needs therapy. Wow.

2. He was all of seven years old if that. He definitely needs therapy. n/t

3. i have a little cousin who "jokes" like that

he's an interesting kid for sure...i want to say he's 8 or 9 now - adopted from russia as an infant.

sometimes he'll stand on a chair and say "hey, watch me kill myself!" and jump to the floor, or i'll ask him where his mom or dad are..."they're dead, somebody killed them" and many other examples i can't think of right now

he's a great kid, smart as a whip, and i don't think there's any real threat of him ever actually doing something - his parents are well aware of his 'jokes' and they're great parents at that, so of course they're lookin out for him

i love him, of course, but he sure is a little strange sometimes
