This subject deserves to be dead, from here on out, no one respond to such stupidity. It's all a waste of time on our part, and for the fact that the thought of this subject is behind someone who must be the result of a conjoined twin fighting with the other over who should be right.
Trust all the things I tell you are true, dress up in your best so I can be proud of you, and never believe I won't turn on you, and never believe I do this for you. You're leading me on again and I find it, yeah I like it, and I'm reeling in awe for sure, now I know it was given to me.

Are you going to assume that the infant did that just because it's hung over from the night before? If no, then why would you assume 6 years later the kid must be psychopathic? The reason for that kids atrocious behavior, that is if you are comparing it's behavior to a psychopath's potential behavior, is as result of:


Lack of Discipline.


Teach the kid to conform to your rules, or you beat it until it surrenders. If the kid however is 15 years old, and still refuses to listen to you no matter how many time you pound it's face into the dirt, then i would be inclined to agree with you.


Beating doesn't always work. And, I know this stuff. I have witnessed fights before. I don't get what wrong with thinking a child may be a sociopath. Being aware of someone's mental condition can make it easier for the mentally ill person, and can prevent severe victimization.

...I can't believe you just had the audacity to say that. Think about this for a second, i mean neurons have to be firing off to give a signal, ahh an idea! Let this sink in for a second.

6-years old....a psychopath....a 6-year old being a psychopath......at the age of 6..............15 years for old conduct disorder.....6 years old....to be psychopathic?

Any signal input yet?

Why do you find it so difficult to believe psychopaths are born, not raised? I, as well as many professionals who specialize in the area, namely Dr. Hare, agree that children as young as three can show signs of psychopathy. Of course, no official diagnosis can be made until adulthood, but the evidence is there from a very young age.

I think chaostheory's point is that any signs of psychopathy that might be present at age 6 are very likely just signs of other issues and you can't really make any justified judgment at that age.

Hence the reason a diagnosis of ASPD is not allowed until the age of 18. But there are documented cases of children who were clearly psychopathic, many of them murderers and rapists as young as nine, specifically Jeffrey Bailey, Jr. who pushed a three-year-old into a hotel swimming pool just because he wanted to see someone drown.

I have given this a lot of thought, i mean does the universe simply says: 'hey it's time to put another 'Devil' on earth' and then a 'psychopath' is born? Because if this is the case i think it's the only thing i would reclamate to God. No one deserves to be a psychopath by nature.

So having said this, i have but to one question to you: Who is the guy in your avatar?
It's all about LOVE and Indignation.

When kids are of that age they do stupid $#%^, go figure. Just because they may have erratic behavior, does not imply anything but immaturity. Teach the kid otherwise, and go from there. If it doesn't conform, then yes that can be a red flag, but not exactly for psychopathy;it could be ADHD for all we know. Unless the kid starts running around like Chucky the killer doll stabbing people and proclaiming himself god, then just wait it out. Besides, what the hell can anyone do about it anyways? the kid is 6, you can't lock it up, you can't really give it therapeutic advice, you can't diagnose it because of immaturity of personality, so all you can do it just wait, nothing more.
