Children especially are very impressionable. A well behaved child watching an unruly child being naughty constantly without consequence for their actions will soon try to see how far they can push things themselves.

This may sound a bit taboo, but I think some children have to have fear instilled into them. They have to learn that action equates to consequence. Kids should have a healthy fear of their parent, teachers and the police.
