[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the archived page of a NYT magazine article from a decade ago, about sociopathy in the very young. It’s terrifying and it’s real.

Here is another one from The Atlantic. I read it when it was published and it stuck out to me at the time. Over my years in special education I’ve met 2-3 kids who I think met this profile.

The programs discussed in these two articles seem amazing. Back in the 1980s I worked in a program for hardcore juvenile delinquents and so many were untouchable. It was a last chance program. Until that point I would never have believed that a kid could be evil and unsavable. So much more to learn here and so much more need for these type of interventions. I bet it’s hard to staff these programs. I only lasted 15 or so months.

I cannot imagine what this family is going through. The IEP is so out there - could they not staff properly or was this child’s behavior so out of control that only the parents could manage it. It must be hard to find adequate resources for a child so young. [/quote]
