[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 130774, member: 1550"] We adopted a full blown psychopath. He was only eleven at the time, but already had every symptom--charming exterior that made people like him--he set fires, killed animals and peed and pooped everywhere--and blamed it on the dogs. We didn't know he was actually torturing the animals, but the second time he killed one of our dogs we no longer thought racist neighbors were doing it, we finally figured it out. Duh! None of us suspected he was privately abusing t he younger kids either and they were too afraid of him to tell (and, yes, we gave our kids that "we'll always believe you" talk many times). This is a conscienceless person at the worst. He is 18 now and I cringe to think of him unleashed on the world (he hasn't seen us since we found out about the abuse). The worse part is he plays a sweet, innocent victim that people just love to mother and love. This is a nice looking boy (as I remember) tall, athletic looking, innocent, killer smile. I pity his girlfriends and their children. He had no understanding of his own behavior and has no memory of being abused himself, although obviously he was. He also may have had brain damage to a point, as he was exposed to drugs in utero and his birthmother did something to him that almost killed him (fed him too much water instead of milk). I do think there may be a genetic predisposition to this sad and scary disorder. I was since taught "If they seem to be too good to be true, they are." That applies to everyone. Nobody is as wonderful as psychopaths appear. They really know how to play up to your vulnerabilities before they move in for the kill. [/QUOTE]
