I remember reading about a couple who knew their 7 year old was a psychopath. He was already killing and torturing animals and they were terrified to sleep in the house with him. But they could get no help because of his age. There is no excuse to use age as the only factor to determine if a person is dangerous or not. A 30 year old psychopath did not happen overnight, they were once a psychopathic child.

I think someone that obsessed could virtually 'hear' voices telling him to do this or that heinous act as a result of unrelenting mental rehearsal of the act. Without actually having a clinically psychotic illness. Furthermore evidence was brought forward that he did not actually research psychosis-defense, but that psychoses inhered in much of the material that he was obsessed over. As an already mentally unbalanced 15-year, with an autistic disorder, he was unconsciously building a template of what a pornographically monstrous attack should look, and _feel_ like. Unfortunately the producers found it easier to bloat their documentary with ready-to-hand filler than follow those leads with more painstaking research.

I am a rape victim, I didn’t turn out to be a rapist. I have been sober 6 years, never murdered my grandmother for some dope. The truth is many people are abused, have substance abuse problems, are bullied and play violent video games. Most people realize that they don’t want to become that which they detest. But then other people, because they are born with something broken inside them, respond to these situations by becoming abusers themselves. They have no remorse, no empathy, and no insight into why they do what they do…they do it because they enjoy inflicting pain on others. They are empty inside, they have no soul, and to put it more simply, they are evil. So your damn right I’m arrogant. Because I’ve been through these things myself, and I work in criminal justice. I think those experiences give me a right to say what I think, and hopefully you and the general public will learn to listen. Stop trying to heal these people. They are beyond hope. They are too far gone to fix. And it is an INSULT to victims who do not “turn to the dark side” to blame this behavior on violent video games, bullying and parental neglect while their are people who have been BEATEN, starved, and RAPED. What’s more their are psychopaths who have had PERFECT childhoods who turn out to be serial killers, so don’t try to tell me that this isn’t simple, because it IS! Their evil, period, full stop.

It’s like the deeper that I dig, the moment I think I have seen the very worst of humanity, something else shows up so shocking and gruesome that it keeps me up at night. It made me realize that psychopaths have no age limit. Psychologists may wait until 18 years old to diagnose it, but when every psychiatric evaluation states “this juvenile has psychopathic tendencies.” It’s an eye opener. Psychopathy is truly a lot more common than people even realize. Psychopathy is more common than autism. And their is no cure for it. And how do you teach remorse without empathy? How do you teach someone not to do something when they don’t fear the consequences? I promise you I was just like you. Naive. Very naive.

[@frankG335]

He will not "recover". There simply is no recovery for sociopaths. There is no "hope" because they don't have a working amygdala- they are INCAPABLE of empathy. They have never felt it and they will never feel it. There's a class of humans who don't have what we think of as humanity, but is actually shared by most animals and humans, and that's empathy, grief, what we call "feelings". They come from the amygdala in the brain and how it affects and interacts with the rest of the brain. It's the emotion center. It doesn't light up at all in brain scans of sociopaths. It's dead. It can't be "brought to life" by any resources. Once they start killing, they never stop. I'm not saying that all sociopaths kill. They don't. In fact, nonviolent sociopaths often excel at business and neurosurgery - jobs that take a ruthless skill and determination where you can't let emotion affect you. Of course, the percentage of sociopaths among criminals in prisons, (if those prisons contain actual criminals rather than fodder as a slave population or political prisoners), is extremely high. In the past, people hoped that serial killers (who are always sociopaths) could be rehabilitated, especially if they were young, but they can't be. They're extremely manipulative, and have fooled prison psychiatrists into recommending early release - then they go right back to killing. They do well in prison because they can't act out their intense fantasies of torture and gruesome death.. But they fantasize about it constantly. To them, it's the ultimate thrill. They're very curious about torture, death, guts, horrific acts. And they fantasize constantly about doing those things. So why do they sometimes seem to have emotion and seem normal? They learn early on that they're not like others, so they study what facial expressions people have in every possible situation, and memorize them. They often practice in front of a mirror. People with intuition will feel that something is "off", or the hair will rise on the back of their neck. But most people are fooled. They can be very charming but it's like a robot that has programmed itself to "be" charming. For more about sociopaths (which are the exact same thing as a psychopath, biologically), on KZbin check out The Behavioral Panel: psychopaths And read John Douglas' book, "The cases that haunt us" or "Journey into Darkness". (He was one of the founders of the FBI Behavioral unit, ie. Profilers).

[@seanorth]

I have been very scared of a child too. It was the youngest daughter of my ex. She was just like that, wanting to constantly watch very violent movies where people were killed in the most horrible ways. At that time she was only 9 years old. Her father would let her and was almost proud that she was able to scare others. Like he wanted to shape his daughter into a stone cold, dangerous person that would not be a bullied victim. A survivor he called it, in his own very primitive and kind of sick way of reasoning. She would threat to kill her sister or later on also her own father every time they had even the slightest quarrel. Then he also got scared. I told him that he could expect nothing else. She also had a very unhealthy relationship with her father and was super klingy and over protective of him. Almost like she saw him as her very own possesion. So of course she hated me. I was a huge threat to her, as I in her mind stole her fathers attention. I was even afraid to go to sleep at night when she was visiting. He would still let this go on, unable to see how unhealthy it was. She would even make it her priority to wear his used boxers. To me, that’s not normal for a child to be that fixated on her parent. It was a huge warning sign that something was very wrong. It’s scares me to even think about how a child with that kind of upbringing will turn out. Parenting is everything! Sadly, if you are not the biological parent, you have no saying at all.

My son is on the Autism spectrum and it is very common for children on the spectrum to confuse their internal dialogue as voices. This is often misdiagnosed as psychosis or schizophrenia. Kids on the spectrum struggle picking up on social cues and internal confusion bc of this also. This is also why they often struggle with sexual identity also. It is sad that James did not get diagnosed earlier and that his parents did not make sure he did not have access to the adult content online. Unhealthy obsessions are typical of Autism but the help is just not there for what the medical industry calls high functioning Autism. Unless you have lots of money for private care there is not the help out there for those individuals that do not display debilitating symptoms. Sad really.

I am working as vice president now in an investment bank, own few properties, having few side businesses, married and have three beautiful kids. Still supporting my parents and siblings both morally and financially.

@@rustywilliams2650 m.o. means modus operandi - the he operates, he orchestrated the act - which is lying in wait and attacking unsuspecting and vulnerable victims.

Yeah I think they confused that. I feel like he didn’t kill enough people to have an M.O, but also maybe he did and no one found out.

The term “serial killer” refers to someone who kills 3 people or more. This young man was a multiple murderer, not a serial killer. Fortunately, he was apprehended before he killed a third victim.
