Yea and that one time violent moment is not what I am wanting to wait for lol that could be badYea, that definitely sounds risky to let the kids be near this one. At the very least, keep the kids out of the pen for their safety in case he does turn (flying spur vs a short persons face is no joke). I'd probably go with the wait-and-see approach coupled with trying to dominate over him to see if the behavior can be controlled.
For breaking him, whenever your husband is near Robbie, have him walk right through Robbie every time (obviously try to not step on him, but make no concessions for Robbies personal space). I've also heard some success with simply grabbing the roo and parading him around in front of his hens to knock down his ego a bit.
Of side note - every family member that will be interacting with him will need to dominate over him to continue to keep him subdued. If he does turn violent and potentially has access to where your kids will be playing, it may be best to just get rid of him.
