At one time I believed all young children could be helped with proper professional care. I do not anymore.
A few years back, my family agreed to take over the care of a nephew for a year and help him to catch up on his education. We returned him after 6 months. A short list of problems included stolen money and credit cards, tortured and abused cats (broke the back of one of them), fire setting, constant lying for no reason, fights in school (was called in to see the tapes) and much more. We paid for professional care which was a failure. The Doctor agreed it was time to rid our home of the problem. There was no fixing it.
I read an interesting book
Without Conscience: The Disturbing World of the Psychopaths Among Us, after our ordeal. I swore they were talking about my nephew. Imagine 3 percent of the world population are psychopaths. They can be anywhere from bosses, relatives, and politicians. The one thing they have is common is they leave human wreckage where ever they go. They are not fixable and best separated from the rest of society. They are born and not raised.
A simple heads up for you consideration.
This problem was recognized some time ago, although skeptics are always amused to cite this provision as an example of why the Mosaic law has nothing to tell us today:
Deuteronomy 21:18-21
18 “If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and who, when they have chastened him, will not heed them, 19 then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city, to the gate of his city. 20 And they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.’ 21 Then all the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones; so you shall put away the evil from among you, and all Israel shall hear and fear.
