Rocker Kid

OK serioulsy.... I go to my town's alternative school (which used to be a church) for kids who got behind on their credits. The building is also home to the delinquency school (which is found in the chapel) (and the drug-rehab school which is found outside in a number of portable classrooms).
But there is also one classroom set aside for younger delinquents.
Normally I pass by without really looking in, but as of last week we got a whole new batch of trouble makers and not a single one of them look to be 8-years-old. How does that happen?
What sort of act could a 7-year-old pull off to be sent away to the "bad kids" school? I knew some bad kids when I was little but very few of them actually did anything illegal.
Yesterday I saw some parents standing outside the room with one of the kids and the teacher was telling them their son had "Dropped the F-Bomb." Today a very angry couple of parents came to the school for a different kid... Half of us alternative kids saw his mother drag him into the ladie's room and heard her beat him while the kid's dad stood guard outside the door. I could roughly hear the mom saying things like "How could you!?" And the boy saying "OWW NO MOM PLEASE STOP OWWW!!" from the hallway.
Nobody knows what the kid said/did but it MUST'VE been bad to have BOTH of his parents come to school to punish him.
Anyway my point. How does a kid manage to get in that kind of trouble? I'd really like to know out of my own curiosity. Has anybody worked with kids in the past?
