I have 2 sons, 3 and 9

The 9 Year old is very aggressive, rude and generally nasty. He steals, lies through his teeth, More recently he has begun hurting his little brother behind my back.

He Stabbed his own brother with the end of a pencil and when asking my youngest what he did displayed and it was as if to stab
He has so far kicked serval times and not softly either
Punching him
Now grabbing him and pushed his head into wall tonight

Its getting to the point where I don't want him around anymore as he is such a danger

Clearly he knows he doing wrong but he claims he doesn't know why

i have tried everything, removing his Xbox, treats, extra saying up time, the works

He is very sneaky about what truths he tells (telling half truths to make him seem like the one being bullied at school when in fact he is physically holding children and then others are pushing him off. All the lies and scowls and general behaviour appear to be narcissistic in nature but I dont want to lable my child. He has no respect for me anymore and I cant seem to get it back. He doesnt fear punishments anymore so im at a total loss

There must be some external help I can get that doesnt involve the schooling system? Any ideas what I can do?

Read up on oppositional defiant disorder and see if it fits. Sounds like it may.
might be worth having a chat with your gp maybe some occupational therapy may help
