My cousin's hitting my brother...?

my cousin (in his early teens) who just came from overseas is hitting my 2 year old brother every chance he gets... not hard, but just enough to bother him or hurt him a bit and to not get him in trouble... he laughs after every time he does it as if he's joking with him but I know he isn't

i see him sometimes and he laughs and plays with him, but i can't help but think this is forced and he's trying to cover up or see him in a different way... i just don't buy it... what would his true motives be?

but it's not THAT serious.. i mean he's not making the kid miserable; i just wanted to know what is truly going on in his head

Answer:
He is sick and needs help. You need to let an adult know immediately and keep your brother away from him as much as possible. Move him to another room, keep him out of sight.

His overseas travels or lifestyle could have made him think this is okay, but his pattern of evoking fear or lack of trust in adults at that age could be permanentely damaging for a 2 year old.

Where in the world are the adults that should be watching your brother - and please do not tell me that they laugh this off also. Your brother could have a nudge throw him off balance and cause a serious injury.

Don't wait until he ends up in the hospital. If you are not old enough (or strong enough - mentally or physically) find an adult who will side with you and stop this behavior immediately.

Don't stop trying to protect him even if that means your sick cousin calls you names.
I don't think you should allow that behavior. You do not know what kind of habits your cousin picked up from overseas. Your 2 year old brother is not old enough to defend himself or even speak up. Chances are if you are questioning it, then it shouldn't be happening.
Hie Churning. Well to me it is bad for him to do so towards him and sometimes this also can lead him into bully too, because he is such a young kid and also he do have feelings towards it the pain, but when he is not doing hard also but it still makes him feel the more pain in him and there should be enough if your mom or your aunt sees it then it is better for him to get punishment towards it. Although he is seeing and playing with him in a very fun way but sometimes it is better for your aunt to keep an eye during he is palying with him like you are saying it. Because he is trying to bully him and making fun of him and this could also lead him to a bigger bully in the overseas and not only there but it can also lead it to very serious manner way of like police case and so on. So it is better for you to tell your aunt by rather of you keeping quite to yourself. Try this and hope it might help you.......

ALL THE BEST.....
This is definately not normal and could be beginning of phyco behavior. I think you suspect this as well. He must be angry inside himself and someone's modeled this for him (like kicking the cat). Challenge his behavior publicly if necessary. Don't allow it and don't leave your brother alone with him for a second! It's your place to protect your little brother and you're doing it!
