[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 390623, member: 1550"] I adopted a foster child who was 11 and had had a VERY rocky history, including multiple caregivers, drugs in the home and before he was born, and probably sexual abuse. He put on a good act around adults, but he was a budding psychopath and I found out that there are three signs that are pretty much the rule for all people who grow up to have antisocial personality disorder (psychopathy): 1/plays with fire/obsession with fire 2/inappropriate pooping and peeing 3/harming animals. This child killed two of our dogs, but he was so good at acting good that we didn't think it was him who had done it until the second dog. We found out later that this kid, only 13 years old after having been with us for two years, had been sexually abusing our younger kids (also adopted) for as long as he'd been with us and my kids had been so afraid of him, they thought he'd kill everyone in the family by burning the house down if they spilled the beans. CPS came and we told them to take him. We haven't seen him since. Kids who kill animals are scary and definitely that is a red flag for something very serious. Did he have a crazy early life, being tossed from parent to parent? Did Mom have a boyfriend who abused him? Is Mom a psychopath herself? Either way, this kid is seriously not right. Dad is in mucho denial. He can't make excuses for the kid. in my opinion he needs a setting outside of the home. If you have any other kids there or animals, he is at high risk to hurt them. Whether or not this child can be helped, I do not know, but he has treaded on very dangerous territory when he killed those chickens. How many other animals has he killed when you weren't there? My adopted son had tried to kill or had killed many animals, but we didn't know it (hub and I). Daughter says she caught him trying to choke a neighbor cat and she startled him so he let the cat go. Also, my oldest daughter's cat disappeared one day...he never came home. I'm sure he killed that cat. Please be careful and smart, even if your hub will not. (((Hugs))). [/QUOTE]
