Can You Call a 9-Year-Old a Psychopath?

89. This has been really interesting reading.

Thank you for bringing it to us. Families of these children really need to see studies like this being done. It's like a life line being thrown to them, even if their kids are already grown. The trauma they've gone through will probably last a lifetime. I wish people who blame the parents would just think for one minute about how it would be to be the parent of someone completely without empathy for other human beings.

Think about how early you might start seeing those signs and how worried you might be and all the things you might try as a mother to instill some feeling in your child for other people or for pets. And how afraid you might be when day after day, week after week, year after year, nothing works and it just gets worse and worse. When your own child looks at you, from birth with no love in its eyes.

That is what these parents go through. Luckily, I haven't gone through this personally. But I can certainly empathize with the parents of these children. They go through absolute hell.
