Beth Thomas - ABUSED youth Turns VIOLENT - Criminal PSYCHIATRIST explores

Whattup my Psych for Sore Guys (and gals)
Beth Thomas was the Child of Rage.
She was a child her parents feared.
Commonly believed to be a psychopath or monster, a deep dive into the dark mind of this violent little 6 year old girl yielded nightmare too terrorizing for most adults.
But when we dig a Little deeper we realise that the horrific abuse that Beth experienced as a child is haunting. Beth and John Thomas went through hell. And survived.

Only soulless evil people harm children. I heard Beth grew up to become a nurse for sick babies. In spite of all of her trauma, she became a successful young lady. I'm so sorry to hear what you went through, Mr. Black. I'm glad to see you're doing great things too. Great interview Dr. Das and Mr. Black!

[@MsTygame]

I agree with the host’s opinion with offenders. I am on the side of children, protect all children first. Offenders shouldn’t have a sliver of a chance to hurt another child again period.

It is indeed a cruel cruel world. Nothing we can do except protect ourselves from violence and be happy we only live once. I really enjoy your videos Dr. Das; they're such an entertaining way to learn about psychiatry; and I will buy your book! Peace and take care!

Even if a person can’t remember it can still affect them

[@memento206mare]

This case was highlighted as illustrative of conduct disorder, RAD, severe childhood trauma and the potential treatment of a child to thwart the development of antisocial personality disorder and when I was studying abnormal psych. There have been a lot of developments since then. Can a person be "cured"? Ultimately it seemed crucial that recognition and interventional measures must be taken as early as possible while an affected child's brain has not matured beyond its neuroplasticity to prevent these disorders and behaviors from being hardwired; so most likely before the age of 8 years. Otherwise, we are dealing with a much more difficult and different situation, issues and treatment methodology. So it seems like a complex intersection of abnormal, child, developmental and neuropsych. While I was being taught, the whole of this case was not yet fully brought to light. Beth's adoptive parents at the time were not aware of the nature of her prior upbringing and severe trauma, and we can see the chilling manifestations present themselves, and that severe trauma at an extremely early age can be recalled and have massive effects. She displays almost no emotion, with drastic violent and sadistic behavior, ideation and capacity for calculated premeditation. She plainly speaks about her trauma, intentions, and will recount incidents honestly, but clearly she means to act them out in secrecy, and not with any outright exhibitionism. It is actually terrifying as much as it is insightful. This is a 5 year old girl exhibiting cold, predatory behaviors, activities, mentality and capacity that most could not have fathomed possible. They eventually come into contact with a woman that maintains knowledge, experience and expertise in the treatment and understanding of her specific disorder. She had a facility and ranch that she headed and ran with others to treat children with RAD specifically. This is who and where Beth is sent and under the care and treatment of. She explains an environment of very strict control being necessary. We see Beth making breakthroughs, and displaying emotions for the first time; she cries, shows joy, and capability of compassion toward people and animals. The methodology and treatment seemed like a critical revelation in the annals of psychology. However, there are troubling events that have unfolded since. This woman who ran the facility and made literary contributions on RAD and treatment methodology, and others employed by her wound up in prison for the suffocation death of a child under their care. One process she advocated and practiced was a simulated rebirth. This is what brought about the death of a child, and the details are disturbing, and call much into question. Beth is now an author, and has written books on her experience and RAD. She made a dedication to this woman with whom she maintained a relationship after these events were brought to light. The situation and subject matter are much more complex than I can express, obviously. It would be interesting if you might follow up on this case in a further video. Appreciate your perspectives and content, thanks!

Also the fact that he called you A Psych for Sore Eyes had to sting a little.

[@parad0cs]

Oh I remember this guy. He's the one who copies Deadbug's style, is extremely bias, and obsesses about children SA cases. First, it's disrespectful and pretty gross he couldn't even shower before giving Dr. Das his time. Second, why is he injecting his own story into this discussion? I'm sorry he had a traumatic childhood experience, but it has nothing to do with Beth Thomas or RAD. It almost felt like he's using Dr. Das as an impromptu free therapy session and I had to shut it off there. Sorry doc. I gave it a shot but you're better than that.

[@_bluephoenix_]

Devils advocate here... as I am seeing this completely differently. If he hadnt mentioned just coming back from working out.. would you notice/care? Many piggyback off JCS yet the guy only did like 6 videos.. there will be content creators that are very similar - its the nature of humans. Also, i wonder if sharing his own experience was to show that he has that level of empathy and understanding in recalling a childhood memory that changed him. Sure theres a small portion where it may seem like its a psych session- but not for the whole video. He seems to be passionate about child SA as a result of his experience and hatred for those who do the same heinous acts. He doesnt glorify the act (unlike current tiktok Dahmer fans) but condemns the abuser harshly (which we all do, when we are also survivors of abuse and hate it being used as an excuse to offend the same abuse on others). Im not completely up to date on all he has done but, I would rather support someone who is being blatantly honest in their hate for child abusers than those who fluff about and try to be too diplomatic/nice about it. 🤷‍♀️ Im just glad to see two different opinions engage in a discussion whilst repecting that they dont agree.

[@aoifeandginny5569]

I have a question for people who are parents and who have been abused in some way as a child. How do you as a parent trust other people around your children when you yourself was abused as a child? And did that thought make you wonder about having children at all?

[@gearupgifts]

My kids were never ever left alone with a man that wasn't either a school teacher (DBS checked) or their dad. Ever! I took zero chances!

[@blowitoutyourcunt7675]

Yes, took me years to decide to have a child and part of it what made me very uncomfortable was there's a 50% chance I could get a boy who despite raising them well could still turn out to be a murdering rapist (yup I've got some trauma from the hands of men, a rapists for a son is literally one of my worst nightmares). Luckily I found a man who is more than patient with me, willing to not have kids if that was the decision I made and his family seemingly only shot girls - I lucked out finding him. Our daughter didn't go to daycare until she was clearly communicative and cogent, around three and a half and I was still that paranoid mama who stopped in often but randomly to check on my child, looking into the windows being a right weirdo tbh lol Our daughter doesn't do sleepovers at friend's houses, there are very few family members that she's allowed to spend the night at, her grandparents and one uncle who has a same aged daughter. On the other hand we've hosted dozens of sleepovers for her and her friends over the yrs, as my husband and I are both background checked because during the summer I run an in-house daycare. I've made sure her social life isn't curtailed by our effortsto keep her safe. When social and cultural trust has been broken for girls, we often become very paranoid moms but I lucked out that I had tons of mom practice being a career nanny years before my daughter was born. So I could properly balance between allowing her to free range and being a helicopter mom by seeing loads of other family balancing it to their standards. While it does take a village to help raise a child, you can be as choosy as you want about the village you form around them. When parents aren't attentive, it's often a caregiver from that village who helps guide them correct course so they grow up to be decent human beings and not psychopaths, like Mary - eventually her village helped sort her out and now she's a productive member of society.

One Christmas my son had a 30 min tantrum outside a shop. For 30 min oi just sat with him. When he finally stopped I picked him up and an old man tried to give him a sweet treat. I managed not to commit murder and my son definitely did not get a reward for the half-hour of living hell

[@gearupgifts]

You just sat and watched your child in distress for 30 whole long minutes and chose to do nothing??? He is refused a treat because you think he became distressed on purpose just to annoy everyone?? When my younger son got distressed as a small boy, I would hold him and tell him softly that everything is OK and that he is safe and warm and loved. Didn't take long for him to calm down.... I certainly never ever just sat and watched him in distress....Jeez...

I have many memories from before the age of 2. As incredible as it may sound, my earliest is of about 6+ months, being in my cot.. My mother confirmed this years later when I spoke to her about this and she confirmed my memories, after all, she was also there.

[@_bluephoenix_]

This is one case of "product of environment" that with guidance and a lot of therapy, was able to overcome her issues. Many offenders/psycopaths are, I think, born with a severed amygdala or similar and there is no saving/rehabilitating them. Love Justin and he brought me to your channel! Its great when people with differing opinions can still have a thought provoking discussion and respect each other. Thank you for sharing his video and your insights on this rare case. Edit; my mum is an emergency foster carer who has often had babies (under a year old) that suffered neglect, addiction (which can mean issues like fetal alcohol syndrome for eg) and/or trauma and, to see them initially be so withdrawn or constantly crying for basic needs then thrive and develop normally under care and love. There is a chance for children if intervention is early enough- I believe if its left until the point that the child grows to understand its normal or their behaviour isnt noticed/corrected then its ingrained, become part of their mental biology and much harder to correct if at all. When I see children "misbehaving" I am much more considerate and empathetic lest the child has formative/cognative issues beyond their control. That the person with them may be a foster carer in a delicate situation.

Eventually the difference between a mental illness and a personality disorder is starting to make sense. As a layman, I have always considered them to be one thing.

[@mikesanders8621]

I have PTSD, Bipolar Type I, and ADHD. I honestly still don't quite understand which one is the mental illness.

[@saml4004]

I worked with a child in a specialized school setting who was removed from his home and later adopted by a social worker. This poor kid was diagnosed with RAD, DID, ADHD, ODD, SPD, and PTSD. He was a WONDERFUL child and very sweet, when he could be. Unfortunately, he got to a point where, after about a year of being in his new home , it was not safe for them to keep him there as he was convinced he needed to kill either his mom or brother. He had a really bad day at our school, where he needed to be restrained on and off most of the day for his safety and ours and his mom chose to have him taken by the police to placed into a residential treatment facility specializing in kids with RAD. I don’t know what happened to him after that, but I hope he was able to improve and go home. He was only 10 at the time and had so much of his life left ahead of him to learn what it’s like to be loved. I find that I can never forgive his birth parents or the foster “parents” who continued to abuse him and potentially ruin this child’s future. I think of him quite frequently and hope he’s ok.

Regarding early memories: I had my first barber haircut before age 2 and I can FEEL the hot fear/anger when the barber lifted me up to sit on the board placed on the barber chair. That's really all I remember but I've heard my father tell the story so that a "true memory" doesn't really exist.

I recall explicit swirling and rushing sensations from being in the outside dark with fire rescue sirens and trucks around me, looking up into a specific person's face as she talked to me when our house burned down when I was barely 2 years old. My cousin recalls the sensations and bright lights of being born. My main point is to keep vigilant in trying not to judge other peoples' experiences based too rigidly upon on my own. Also, useful studying might be put into the effect of extreme emotion regarding earliest memories. The people I know who have recall at or before age 2, also recall the extreme emotional state.

[@piggieria]

I remember my 3rd birthday and a few other memories from that year. Including one were I was being sexually abused. Almost all of them do involve some type of trauma. Except for maybe one where I remember seeing my grandpa and grandma on my dad's side walk into my grandparents house on my mom's side. My grandpa on my dad's side died when I was 3 so that was probably the last time I saw him, before seeing him in the casket. Which please do not expose your toddlers to people in coffins. That in itself traumatized me enough when I was an adult and my other grandpa died. I had a panic attack because I thought that was how I was going to remember him too. Now the pictures are fuzzy in my mind, but I remember what was said or who was there. With the exception of the sexual abuse memory. I just remember where I was, that there where other kids around me in a circle and someone on top of me. I don't remember who. My sister confirmed I was abused when I was younger. I also have a memory from when I was smaller I had to back off the couch and crawl up the stairs. I also couldn't see over the top of a mattress on a bed. Now I'm wondering if that may have been the first time I was abused. Because if all my other memories revolve around trauma why wouldn't that one. With that being said I dont remember the traumatic event if that is the case just directly after On another side note. My son had his leg broken per the abuse specialist intentionally by his daycare provider on his 3 MONTH birthday. He had to have x-rays of his entire body. For the next year and 3 months he had all his normal visits which is every month at least the first year. For every visit he would be smiling and laughing and happy never once reacting. At 18 months old he needed to go back to the orthopedic doctor and had to get x-rays of his leg. The second we walked into that same xray room as that night, he absolutely panicked and started screaming and crying. The specialists all told me when he was 3 months old that he would not remember he was far to young. No one explained the different type of memories. Because at that moment I knew he had some type of memory of that place. I figured they where wrong. Now granted I'm sure they where trying to make me feel better. But it makes sense. Even to this day at 8 yrs old he has extreme anxiety around things that may cause discomfort or pain. He wouldn't let us clip his nails because it wasn't comfortable. He refuses to try his bike without training wheels because he may fall and it may hurt. He refused to allow the doctor to give him an EKG because he thought it might hurt. I understood it was because of his leg, but didn't know what the connection was. It also explains my "flashbacks". I was told I have permanent ptsd because of the abuse/neglect I suffered. I upstanding that is called ptsdc. I don't get visual flashbacks I get emotional things trigger my emotion from past events. What is wierd is that once my emotion is triggered I will remember the new event and will have emotional and visual flashbacks of the new event. Brains are wierd and fascinating.

[@chickenpie9698]

Really interesting regarding early memories as I didn't realise memories from when we are so young are apparently rare. I personally have a series of memories of a family holiday from when I was around 2-3. I've always wondered how I've held on to those memories but I think they had been recalled fairly often when I was young so I'm unsure if they are true memories or in a way, memories of memories. An interesting side for me is that there are some aspects I have absolutely no memory of but I know happened due to anecdotal evidence and photos but on the flip side I remember having quite vivid memories of being in certain locations and parts of conversations. The only thing is that with it being so long ago, I have vivid memories of recalling the moments but also conversations about the holiday so it's all a bit muddled at this point. Another interesting point for me with this sort of thing is that I've heard (and I understand there is evidence of this) that traumatic events can be buried in early memory. The example I've been given for this is someone who went through something traumatic in their very early years but suffers from the trauma even though they may not remember the traumatic event later on in life.

Firstly, I'm so sorry this was done to you and you weren't believed, even though you told an adult. I'd just like to reassure you, as a teacher, that even though this kind of thing still happens today, there are so many support mechanisms in place now to deal with it. If I even just suspected a child was being abused or if a child made a disclosure to me, I would immediately report it to our safeguarding manager (we have an entire department dedicated to this). And we would involve outside agencies (ie, police, social services, etc...). This kind of thing unfortunately happens in my job and there are incidents, but as soon as we get wind of anything, we always deal with it. I would resign my job in protest and go to the papers over a lack of action on something like this, just so you know. I couldn't bear it on my conscience to do nothing.

So yes, I am sure, but no, it really doesn’t matter either way, as most people don’t care. And language itself is protean, which is half the fun of it.

I like the attitude you two have, you CAN agree to disagree agreeably! I love to hear people's opinions when they are honest & I think this is a very important topic to get out in the open. The things that sick people do to their children is so sad. Thank you for sharing this today.

Hi Dr Das, could you do a video on David Fuller next please? He's got to be up there with the worst of the worst.

Subscribed to both channels and always learn something interesting on both channels. Thank you both. If I could choose two people to compare, I'd compare Beth to Mary Bell or to the murderers of James Bugler.

Hey, keep at the work. You might enjoy this channel 👉 #drjohnaking. I find him informative, yet down to earth.

Amazing collaboration! I was hoping that you would comment on Mary Bell's case! We would like to think that she is unique but so many of us find facets of ourselves reflected in her and like her, many of us have had to work very hard our entire life to rear up and nuture in ourselves empathy and sympathy for others as well as ourselves, otherwise we wouldn't be able to survive and we would self-destruct - devastatingly harming not only ourselves but others. Many thanks to the Disturbing Truth's Channel and you for sharing your knowledge and experience with not only w brevity but witty alacrity! Cheers Doc!
