Take an eight-letter term that's often used to mean "a good child." Remove the first two and last two letters, and reverse what remains to get a four-letter word meaning "a bad child."The answer is ALTAR BOY, which has BRAT inside it.
And if you think how much boys that age eat, it's not unreasonable to expect to find an altar boy with a brat inside him.
Here is not one brat, but two (Johnsonville bratwurst):
Altar from Ostia showing Romulus and Remus suckled by the she-wolf, discovered by shepherds. Now at the Museo Nazionale Romano, Palazzo Massimo, Rome.
Last one:
A boy. At least, I think that's a boy. Gosh, I hope I'm not guilty of stereotyping here...
