[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was an article in The Atlantic about this: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/06/when-your-child-is-a-psychopath/524502/

And this one from the NY Times Magazine: https://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/13/magazine/can-you-call-a-9-year-old-a-psychopath.html

I think some kids are just born this way - their brains are wired differently.  I really feel for the parents who are struggling with this.  There isn't a whole lot of help or support out there for these kinds of kids.[/quote]

Op here. The child in the article is like my friend. I always thought she had no empathy and I vaguely remember my friend asking how to teach empathy. I also knew the girl was in therapy but never asked for what. I just remember being shocked and scare over her art. It was so disturbing and scary, especially for a little girl. She is a good artist so the details of the pained animals were upsetting. I have seen various violent pictures over the years of zombies or ninjas or other fighting scenes but her art was different.

I’m just going to avoid the girl and family. I’m glad our kids don’t go to the same school.

I think this is the type of girl who will go psycho on some guy one day.[/quote]
