I agree that jumping from hitting a dog to being a serial killer is extreme. However...
Let's play a game. What if we substituted the word "puppy" for "baby". Would you still say "oh they just need to learn"? Would you recommend a larger baby until they could "play nice"? Or would you think, hmmm, there might be some issues here we need to work on? Would you trust that child around a baby after telling it "no" or to "play nice, touch softly" one time? Would you be worried about jealousy and / or aggression issues?
Just wondering where the line is drawn.
