Several weeks ago, The New York Times Magazine section ran a brilliant article on child psychopaths/sociopaths and the research that scientists, doctors and psychoanalysts are doing on them. They are trying to help them when they are very, very young to curb them from a life of violence.

In the article, there was no one mention of guns. But in today's NYTs, it's all about guns, guns, guns. Major disconnect at that newspaper.

Read that. Excellent story.

Was this the one?

If you’re ever somewhere with a ‘postie’ don’t drink or eat anything he or she offers you.

Below is a post by FReeper fs301 on a thread I was reading yesterday:

Childhood abuse and neglect can result in a cold blooded murderous rage. The following video documentary is of an adopted girl who had been abused by her birth parents at a very young age... an age at which many might believe she should retain no memory of the abuse. The video is chilling and not safe for work:

YouTube Video "Child of Rage"

It's a 27-minute video and it is indeed chilling, but indicates there is hope if they treat them early. (not with drugs)
