[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 622901, member: 1550"] There are three behaviors in a child that denote impending psychopathic behavior in children. I had an obviously very disturbed child living with me once who had every symptom to the extreme and some more. He did have reactive attachment disorder. These are the BIG THREE red flags. Unfortunately for us, often the child hides that he does these things. As I list them, I will tell you what we THOUGHT had really happened, when it had been this difficult child kid all along. He was great at charming adults. We learned this from some professionals after we had a dangerous kid in our house for three years. He was with us from age 11-13 and eventually charged in court and found guilty at age 13 of something he did in our home. It was not our idea to charge him with any crime. The county did it. Anyhow, this is called the McDonald Triangle. 1/peeing and pooping in bed and in other inappropriate places or doing things like smearing feces on walls even in teens. (Now our kid peed and pooped all over the house...in closets, on the lawn, in the bath tub...we blamed it on a few rescue dogs that we had fostered. 2/Fascination and fire play. You had that when your difficult child set this girl's hair on fire. That is not normal behavior at his age. Anyway, we never knew that this kid in our home played with fire, but he had stolen a lighter from Walmart per my other children and he would set little fires on his carpeting all the time, telling them that he was the Devil and if he ever told their Dad and Mom what he did (there were many things he did), he'd burn the house down with all of us in it and his parents couldn't stop him. 3/Cruelty to animals. Our kid acted like he loved our pets. I am an animal lover. Then one day our beloved dog was strangled in our garage. difficult child came in bawling and told us he found the dog dead. On inspection, somebody used a rope around his neck and our daughter was doing drugs at the time and hanging with inappropriate people. We thought it had to be one of the thugs becauause difficult child acted like an angel around us and, my God, he loved the dog and was carrying on so. We got another puppy and he hung the poor thing by her own leash. I cry each time I think about it. Only he and I were at home that particular day so his cover was blown...I knew it was him and it made me sick. Then his story of horrors, all the stuff he had done in our home, came tumbling out via the other children and we called CPS to take him. He had done so much damage, mostly in secret. He was too dangerous to live in a family. After he was escorted out of the house, the kids told me that he had also tried to harm our other pets, but the pets made noise and he was afraid we'd hear it. He also tried to harm animals of our neighbors and my youngest saw him trying to strangle a cat with his bare hands. She ran to tell the owner, so he dropped the cat. Sexualization is also often a symptom. At any rate, make sure you are safe and keep talking to your husband because this kid needs help, no matter what is causing his behavior. Hugs!!!! [/QUOTE]
