This guy probably has a long history of being an undisciplined spoiled brat
Without an actual commitment to the Lord (not just ceremony) no amount of earthly “discipline” can guarantee a good outcome, and in fact in excess risks creating spiritual destruction.
We only see superficials in these reports. What really happened here? Parents can be brats too.
If that was the case this would not be unusual. This is absolutely abnormal. No remorse, no emotion.
