ADHD isn't real
I'd have given him a slap if he was my kid.
A research team in the UK screened DNA across the entire genome from 366 children with ADHD and 1047 children without the condition for rare but massive regions of DNA that were either missing from where they should be or duplicated. They looked for these abnormalities, called copy-number variants or CNVs, because some had been linked previously with other psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia and autism.
16 % of the children with ADHD had abnormally high numbers of CNVs, double the 8 per cent of normal children who had them: the ADHD children had double the risk of carrying these genetic abnormalities.ADHD children had CNVs in sites on chromosome 16 that overlapped with CNVs previously found in children with schizophrenia
But i lost interest when i read the slap/kid etc...
Adult ADHD ( ADD ) here + dyslexic and i assure you it's very real
PS. I don't slap/abuse my children either, cus one day they will punch you back.

This certainly doesn't prove a thing. Let alone show cause or effect.
If this is the cause, then you have just shown that 83% of people diagnosed with ADHD don't actually have it!
As often is the way, the solution is somewhere in the middle. Calling the police (if this is an isolated incident) is pushing it a bit, but as someone else said on here, this could also be a headline about how the kid shot someone else in the eye with it.
Not sure why, but i'm getting the vibe of that kid off game of thrones that likes chucking people out the trapdoor about this one.
