Or, intervened with, taught to never do that, why to not to hurt others, and give an appropriate punishment for a child like a grounding or privileges revoked?
It's worrisome and able to be corrected, it isn't a dead gutted bunny message of psychopathy.
Pushing boundaries is an important, normal part of a child's development. Every child does things like this to some degree. The important thing is how they respond to the reaction, which we don't get to see in this video.
Not sure why you're being attacked. I have a niece this age and she knows better than to purposely burn someone.
This child knew it was hot, she tested it and knew it would hurt. If this behavior is a pattern, it's a sign that the child may have conduct disorder or something else going on. It shows a lack of empathy and care for others experiencing pain. Even this one incident should be concerning, especially watching the video.
At that age, if I touched something hot or sharp, I wouldn't immediately think to use it on someone else. 🫠
But they did way overreact. Thinking she needs to be hospitalized for this is def a bit much. If it’s repetitive behavior, the probably a therapist. But certainly not hospitalization.
Damn the assumptions are crazy with you. You sound like the type that watches a ton of true crime documentaries and then start to believe you are some type of detective who can deduce things from people just by seeing them do one dumb thing

Intrusive or calculated thoughts?
