The main problem I saw with that was that the child had no clue how to express his feelings outside of verbal and physical abuse. This is partly due to his age and maturity level but also because he is merely a mimicking how he "interprets" what is being shown to him as an Ok form of expression of emotion's. Children can't be expected to fully understand how to express themselves even though they have the same feelings as an adult they lack a way to properly show those feelings. When parents are unwilling to listen then children learn that its ok to ignore the feelings of others. Parents should learn how to discipline on a child level and not react as if they were reacting to an adult.
