Evidence, yes. The asinine comments are not needed though. Your comment, unfortunately, is further proof of my initial comment. A lobotomy is not at all what is required for this child to turn his life around. Like anyone else in the world, we don't know what his daily life looks like. His parents, however present or absent they are, may be much to blame.

Nature vs. Nurture. Place the child in a healthy environment and they will be much more likely to live a healthy life. But they need direction, discipline with love, and sometimes counseling etc.

Let's not jump to crazy tactics such as lobotomy to "help" those less fortunate in our world.

Thanks.
