[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 466675, member: 1550"] I don't like specialists because they tend to see their specialty in every child (at least this has been my experience). I know kids can be psychopaths. I adopted one. Believe it or not, he was worse than your son...he killed animals and sexually abused (think of the worst way possible) my younger two kids and scared then with a knife and fires so that they were afraid to tell us. He probably had other things going on too, but the bottom line is he could not live safely in a family and, once we found out what he'd done, we told CPS to remove him...and they did gladly. Your child did not have the bad experiences that mine did nor was he prenatally exposed to drugs and alcohol. But a psychopath, for any reason, is still dangerous and hard to treat. I heard he never did improve. Nor did he miss us. He could not have feelings for people, which we could have worked on except that every psychiatrist he saw after that told us that he was a threat to any child. Plus my other two k ids were terrified of him...there was no way we were ever going to make them see him again. So I know there can be child psychopaths. At the end of the day, if you can manage your son at home, that is good. Try to find out what else is wrong with him and treat everything you can. Don't give up on him yet. But he still may end up in an Residential Treatment Center (RTC)...even though you ARE a good mother. It really doesn't have a lot to do with parenting. Some kids have no empathy because of brutal pasts. But some people seem to be born without empathy. Disturbed, unhappy, miserable kids can be helped. Mean, cruel kids...not so sure. There is a big difference. To get help, on some level you have to WANT it. I wish I had some great advice. I"m so sorry. (((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
