Parenting has a huge part to play in a child's life, formulating his character and behaviour at his initial stage of growing up. However, his surrounding and peers are the external influence, including the media and society at large. Such factors are more influential to his mental development as he moves into his young adult stage of life. One cannot blame parents solely for his misbehaviour as he has a choice between what is right and wrong. There won't be criminals and bad habits if these aren't taught by parents. Which parent would like to see his own child go to jail? A 16 year old has influence not just from parents, but mostly from peers and media. So, who is responsible for a growing up teen? THE MEDIA!

Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is a childhood disorder that is defined by a pattern of hostile, disobedient, and defiant behaviors directed at adults or other authority figures. ODD is also characterized by children displaying angry and irritable moods, as well as argumentative and vindictive behaviors. Not necessarily Amos but also many other kids who display such behavioural patterns

Some parents are very busy, can't blame them.

[@ArchangelMichael1991]

No matter how busy you are your child/children is/are your responsibility. If you know that you would be very busy, don't get a child

[@customersupport001]

+Kenji Yamazaki agree

[@yongsuanlin6255]

Gurmit is right. Parents are hard to be today. Children are well aware and they call psychiatric help themselves before parents KNEW it.

It's easy enough to blame Amos' parents. How are you qualified to comment Gurmit? Anyone with half a brain (sorry Gurm) can see that Amos Yee is an extreme case of ADHD (look it up guys). If he refuses to take his medication, how can his parents force him? Admittedly Amos deserves a slap from time to time but it's not his parent's fault nor his. Singapore does not have the resources or wherewithal to cope with people like him. If he'd done National Service he'd have died because most NCOs and NS Officers are peabrains anyway.

[@timothyjob3707]

If you think you are right, you don't have to be afraid of anybody's words. For example, A very tall person being call short by someone. Will he get angry? Will he get offended? It is only the evildoers who are afraid of words.

[@GraceOng-l5m]

Quan Yi Fong is right, Amos was diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder

[@xinniho3091]

How do you ever knows that behind the curtains when parents tried to parent him, it is kids that do not listen. My point is most of the time: the problem do not lies with the parents, it lies within the kid

[@jinvonastrea1141]

kids are empty vessel, if u feel it with bad it will become bad same goes with good . Amos's environment+ his parent's teaching become the current amos yee.

Maybe both of the celebrities should go for a mental check-up instead because they don't realise that they make no sense.

[@freddywong5782]

Don't evade his challenge to sue him. Let him back up what he said of LKY in court.

[@ArchangelMichael1991]

And the court is going to buy it, yes ! That's very likely. (I hope sarcasm isn't too hard to detect over the internet)

Whenever I see a child "mishaving?" But I agree with your views on parents. Thank you for sharing.

[@dontknow3949]

Uh oh did that confuse your pea brain lol? I didn't even notice and even if I did, it sure as shit fuck wouldn't confuse me. I can't imagine having a brain where the "be" missing from "mishaving" would cause me tangible confusion hahahahha holy shit you must have an IQ of 60 😅😂
