What part of the numerous studies on child behavior coming from people who work with troubled children on a daily basis isn't empirical?


In all honesty, there really isn't a way to discipline a 16 year old into not being involved in the corrupt underbelly of society. It would probably come down to what caused him to go that route in the first place (maybe he didn't feel loved by his family?), and then confront it.
Possibly because they were whipping him on camera?
