At the risk of receiving the ire of everyone here, there was a time when such things were dealt with.
Deuteronomy 21:18-21
Suppose a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey his father or mother, even though they discipline him. In such a case, the father and mother must take the son to the elders as they hold court at the town gate. The parents must say to the elders, ‘This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious and refuses to obey. He is a glutton and a drunkard.’ Then all the men of his town must stone him to death. In this way, you will purge this evil from among you, and all Israel will hear about it and be afraid.
Then there is the Arab option: Strap a suicide vest on the person. Tell him/her to walk over to x, then blow them up at a convenient time.
they kid here is not stubborn just stupid. Literally. 58 on the IQ? I am surprised he can tie his own shoes.
They did not have institutions back then but they had a way of dealing with crazies or out of control people. Usually tied them to a tree or something.
FReepers are correct he needs in an institution.
Those were some interesting responses.
There are some great requirements in this law: Mom and Dad both have to bring the kid forward after trying to discipline him. All of the men must take part in his death.
“All Israel will hear about it and be afraid.”
It could be summed up as “don’t be a dick and you won’t get killed.”
That’s Old Testament... shall we then stone you for gathering wood on the Sabbath?
