my brother who is a psychopath but was just sociopath when we were kids has a very troubling past he was put up for adoption when he was seven years old. my family adopted him at nine years old... A real charming kid when you first meet him. we knew there was something wrong after the first month. About four months into living with us one of our next door neighbors who had retired from the FBI took my dad aside and told my dad that my brother in his opinion was a sociopath. As time went by we got his history....mom prostitute who was pimped by a bike gang . at five he would be sent out of the house with crackers and a soda while his mom had Johns at the house. he was molested sevral times under circumstance we don’t really know of . At six his grandma ended up with him while mom went to jail....grandma could not handle him and he enter foster care at seven after two years in foster care my parents adopted....sociopath’s and psychopaths are made by society. I am sure there is an organic component to it but the one common requirement is a child’s needs not being met at a very young age along with major abuse of the child.
Eventually my Brother would end up killing his girl friend when the sociopathic activities in his life devolved into psychopathy. My Brother is the reason for a death penalty. if he was out of prison again he would kill and there is a good chance that the girl he killed was not his first.
