What would you do if you knew your young child is a psychopath?

Akrasia

Psychopaths are people who are born without the capacity for empathy. They are extremely likely to grow up and commit some horrendous crimes. There is no cure. most psychopaths spend their lives in jail or a mental institution or are loose in society causing devastation to innocent people around them. If you were the parent of a 8 year old who you discovered was secretly torturing animals and displaying all the symptoms of being a psychopath, what would you do?

Difficult to tell. Children are generally lacking in empathy anyway. Selfish little bastards.

Turn them into a dexter style person!

Set him on my mother in law

TiGeR KiNgS

Encourage them to kill only those that got off the justice system.
Worked for Dexter.

Son Of A Vidic

I'd probably flip.

El Guapo!

Train him to be a mercenary and send him off doing all cool Jason Bourne shít

Big Nasty

I'd explain to the kid that torturing animal is wrong and that if they do it again, I'd flog them.

If I caught them doing it again, I'd flog them.

Pain is an excellent way of altering kids behaviour.

AG2R

Make sure I don't piss them off

RinkyDinkSlink

I've wondered about this myself many times. I'd like to think that I could 'train' them into appropriate behaviours. Failing that, I'd have them locked up and throw away the key.

I'm currently training a child to be a psychopath. He's not mine. I just found him in the backseat of a Volvo in the Ikea carpark.

Love them all the more.

they are literrally unable to experience empathy or guilt. Saw an episode of Law and Order SVU based on a real case of a boy mudering his infant neighbour . Killed child's father was a psychiatrist and knew the guy couldnt be cured so shot him in courthouse. They should be locked up for life or made wear a gps unit with camera necklace so everything they do can be monitored. They will adapt behaviour only if threatened with probable encarceration .

Saw this, one of my favourite episodes and the reason we were discussing this very subject lately. That little dude was truly fubar, very well played by the young actor!

I don't know, I've no feelings on the matter.

You mean to tell me we aborted the wrong one? Damn you! Damn you all to hell!

Train him to be an Irish rugby player.

My son has asd.
He lacks empathy.
He only apologises or does the 'right thing' if he knows that he will be punished otherwise - so it is purely selfish.
He doesn't care if he hurts someone.
He doesn't care about anything but himself.
What do I do about it?
Try to teach him empathy of course, and hope for the best!

Autism spectrum disorder.

I'd bolt him/her up against the wall in the basement.

Bipolar Joe

You can't really compare ASD and being a psychopath or sociopath.

And I would totally try and make them into an anti-hero, like Christian Slater in Heathers.

That's playing right into their hands. That's what they want you to do. Then when they get loose, revenge will be all the more sweet.

Don't be a fool man. Send them to school as normal and then when they go on a rampage make millions from the 'We Need To Talk About Kevin' style memoirs you can write.

Ditch

Pack him off to be educated at Columbine
