This is interesting...I've seen some postulation about his age, but never
anything firm. I kind of doubt that he is this young...his language patterns
don't seem to be those of a twelve year old.

It's obvious that he has some psychological problems, but that doesn't excuse he
behaviour. And, to me, neither does his age (whatever that is). I would be
interested (almost acedemically...I used to be a social worker, and worked with
mentally ill clients for several years) to find out exactly what his problems
are. I do hope he gets help, but in the mean time, I'm not real keen on dealing
with his abusiveness.
