If they wanted to eat something sweet, they had to locate a beehive, smoke out the bees and retrieve the honey, often by climbing up a tree or chopping it down...
...been expelled from six preschools and two day-care centers in his short academic career and has made a shambles of their once tidy home. Kyle was hospitalized for violent outbursts at age 4 and still has periods when he goes almost completely feral. He once threw a butcher knife at his mother, nearly striking her before she ducked out of the way. "That day started out fine," Broman says, "but he turned on me like a rabid...
