[Cruel and violent children].
Three to 4% of parents are regularly battered by their children, at the adolescence. Before the appears of violence, there is an escalation of pathologic interaction between parents and child. Comorbidity is usual: problem behavior, impairments in school functionning, antisocial disorders, etc.... Sometimes violence seems to appear at the adolescence in families without any problem. Very often there are many family conflicts and discrepancy between parents about education of their children. Prevention is the better treatment with an early intervention as soon as possible.
