"...must have been one heck of a first-grader..."
Time to call Dr. Phil.
What makes a 5 year old that way? Can’t imagine.
It sounds to me like the child has never had the fear of god put in him.
Had a friend who had a niece like that..At 9 years old,stood over her mother with a knife..When mom woke up,girl smiled and said I could have killed you...I told another friend and her reply was,oh yeah,I brought you into this world and I can take you out...That was the 70s.......
>>> A friend of mine has a sociopathic child who just turned 5 y.o.
I’ve personally experienced this kind of madness as a step father. Fell in love with a woman with 3 children. The youngest a boy. I knew going into the marriage that things could get rough with that kid but I never EVER imagined that he could go to the depths of sociopathic behavior that he did. I learned then that once a kid has determined to out-do every previous foul up, theres not a thing that anyone can do about it. You cant put them in a straight jacket and the courts locking them up never did anything.
So sad. I dont get it at all.
