[QUOTE="threebabygirls, post: 281709, member: 5670"] I certainly do not envy you your position. You are such a strong person to have dealt with this for so long. After my post last evening I continued reading "Columbine" and it went deeper into the signs/symptoms of psychopathy. It also mentioned what you did, about pros being extremely reluctant to diagnosis something so horrific in a minor. It argues the nature/nurture point. In the 1970's a Dr. Robert Hare created a psychopathy checklist, which is the basis for all current research in the subject. Dr. Hare believes psychopaths are born with a predisposition to psychopathy, and the person's environment affects it little or if it's a dysfuntional atmosphere, make a bad situation worse. He described a 5 yr old girl trying to repeatedly flush her kitten down the toilet. When caught, she was extremely unconcerned about it, just slightly angry she got caught. When the child's mom told her dad, the girl calmly denied the whole thing. Dr. Hare created a screening device for minors and identified hallmarks that often appear during the school years: "gratuitous lying, indifference to the pain of others, defiance of authority figures, unresponsiveness to reprimands or threatened punishment, petty theft, persistent aggression, cutting classes and breaking curfew, cruelty to animals, early experimentation with sex, and vandalism and setting fires." I got these out of "Columbine" by Dave Cullen. Eric Harris had all but the cruelty to animals. As I read all of that I couldn't help but grow more concerned for your and your children's well-beings. I obviously am not a professional but I am very disturbed by your difficult child's behavior. [/QUOTE]
