I do admit what Theo did as a child was shocking but more than anything it was sad. Aha, u can't get scared or uncomfortable with him at first, but he was the brother, the son, and part of a family who instead of throwing him away to another country, should have given him more love, more attention, more opportunities to define himself outside of his family or his shadow's brother, or therapy at least. A child never has the blame for those situations, obviously, it might be scary, but it was the only idea his childish mind could have brought up.

I don't feel scared at Theo, he's intense, yeah, but he hasn't done anything unforgivable. He needs to stay focused on himself, his inner work, his dreams, and his life. I see an abandoned child who's constantly suppressed by other's expectations and the perfect image of his older bro; I see a child who's waiting for someone to see him and just him, with a warm smile. He still has chances, he doesn't act crazy, he asks over and over to understand something, he tries to adapt to others' ways and manners. He can't stay that way because he's not a child anymore, but Theo ain't a psycho with no chances of redemption (btw, the redemption of what? He's continuously been treated as if he were a freaking murderer or something horrible and hideous, but the dude is just hurt, trying his best to please others and suffering for being abandoned and ignored by his family. Should he ask for forgiveness? Ofc nah) and that's why I can't tolerate Nick's behavior (especially because he knows why he is like that, he simply never wanted to act with accountability, instead he just rejected his lil bro).

He did some annoying and scary things, yes, but Nick's speech makes it seems as if he were always the right one, the superior, the impenetrable one, someone who knows everything and never makes a mistake, but that ain't true. In this life, there's no one perfect and that's why is so tiresome to be close to Nick, he just thinks straight the line. He takes everything for granted, that he reduces his younger bro's feelings and Louis' feelings at that. I don't hate him, but he's so disconnected *sigh*.

Can anyone blame a kid which is not loved by their own family to intimate someone who is? In his childish mind he thinks if he acts like this person everyone would accept him and he wouldn't be an outcast. This is just the worst how they reacted. Of course it's not 'normal' to that extand that the child even hurt himself but they should look at the reason why he would do something like that. Or do they think he does that because it's fun? They send him to bording school, there isn't another better way to say that they don't want him there.
