Case Study
Dr. Ankur Sharma is a surgeon. He comes from a well-educated family. Rahul, his little son, is 7 years old and is showing some troubling behaviour patterns. Rahul has been taking pleasure in hurting and torturing creatures for the last two years. It all started when he would pick up some insects such as cockroaches and worms and take delight in cutting them to pieces with a blade. The family keeps some pets including rabbits and some days ago Mr. Sharma detected the boy vivisecting a rabbit in a lonely corner of their garden. By the time Mr. Sharma intervened it was all over, and young Rahul was almost relishing the sight of his bloody hand. Mr. Sharma, of course, scolded the kid but they are worried about the gruesome incidents likely to happen from this kind of perverse behaviour.
What actions should the parents take? Select from the following options:
1. They should ignore the incidents as childish pranks.
2. They should explain to Rahul the need to behave kindly towards animals and to avoid violence in all forms.
3. They should take Rahul to a psychiatrist for counselling and treatment.
4. They should not let Rahul out of sight when he is alone.
