[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 228584, member: 1550"] I've read up on sociopathy in children as my bio. kid showed some tendencies. The three BIG red flags are Firesetting, cruelty to animals (and be careful if they kill or try to kill any) and peeing and pooping inappropriately. We adopted a socipathic child who has left our family long ago due to the danger he posed. He had all three symptoms, in fact he killed our dog in a very ugly way (I won't go into it). My daughter told us, after he'd gone, that she'd seen him strangling a neighbor's cat and when she saw him he dropped the cat and threatened her if she told anyone. He sexually acted out on my two younger kids and god knows how many others :sad-very: He was so charming to adults that nobody suspecteds and we all loved him dearly, yet so scary to children that they never told on him until we finally caught him, and he was gone. This is a child psychopath who had sadly lived a very bad early life--birthmom abused and abandoned him, in several foster homes, probably sexually abused, although he doesn't remember. He didn't come to us until 11, and it was too late. Yet we didn't know anything about these behaviors. He had no remorse for anything he did. He had no understanding as to why he did the things he did, including stealing a knife from Walmart and holding it on our younger kids to make them act out sexually (and we didn't know about it because they were terrified he'd burn the house down with all of us in it). That was his boogy-man. Other red flags for budding sociopaths IF THEY ARE NOT TAKEN CARE OF is impulsivity, love of excitement, easy boredom, disregard for rules/laws, and lack of remorse, substance abuse. But, remember, children can often be helped with early intervention! And sometimes it is mental illness fueling their behaviors and they just need the right type of help! [/QUOTE]
