There can be some pretty deep seated anger in kids who have been:
1) Abused
2) Neglected
3) Dumped by primary care givers
I think the anger is rooted deep in mistrust. If the people who were supposed to take care of and nurture me--at worst, ignore me and at best abuse me, and ultimately dump me or I'm taken away from them--don't it creates a schism in what is perceived as "normal".
I wish I had some good ideas on how to uncock the pistol, so to speak, before things get out of control. I think once things start spinning out of control it is nearly impossible for a kid to regulate and pull him/herself back into line.
