I didn't suggest he was a bad child but speculated that, based on the history, that it would not be surprising if he could have been, for want of a better phrase' hard work.
All children are "hard work" in one way or another. Some of us look after them and try to raise them to be good, decent human beings. Some don't and by good luck and fortune their children manage to escape the shadow of terrible parenting. Others are like Tustin. Poor kid didn't get much of a life by the look of it.
