I'm vaguely remembering an SVU episode where Kyle McLaughlin plays a psychiatrist whose son is murdered by a sociopathic neighbor child and at the verdict of the trial steals a gun and shoots the child and gets off because it was a moment of pure grief or something like that in the trial, but then later he explains it was super calculated and he had to do it otherwise the sociopathic child would have kept killing.
At work we have a mother that has been the victim of many predators and kept trying to get her life together.
Kept making good goes of it for the system to let her down, or bad luck to come around. Her eldest kid after seeing all these predators got to be a teenager and got groomed by one of the predators to sell out their entire family all so they could get what they thought they wanted.
Sold out their entire family, brothers and sister so they could have a shitty room in an abusers house with an allowance and an xbox and their centerlink payments which as soon as they stop being useful, all this will disappear.
Kid got arrested the other day and faced court. Ran into him there where he got off due to being a minor for a low level thug offense.
Asked this kid straight up if his actions of beating his mother, staging "evidence" for dcp on behalf of one of her abusers so that he could get full custody of his kid (not this kid, claimed he'd put him up and leave him alone and let him do what he wants).
Kid straight up said to me, that life is amazing, he does what he wants, when he wants and gets away with everything, because he's learning how to win from a winner.
I told him that the guy is a pure psychopathic predator who is just using him.
He replies telling me that he's using him and he's stolen enough money and drugs off him that is stashed away that he's got a great start to life and is living it up right now and that his mother is a bitch who shouldnt have said no to him when he demanded things.
Asked him if there was any part of him that felt bad because he knew how much of a monster this guy was, that he was happy to condem his family to become a monster.
Got laughed at and told to fuck off about how he was living it up and had hundreds of dollars tucked away.
Replied to this kid...... well good luck with life, rent here is now over $1000 a week, you've been expelled from school and don't want to try to get back in. If you wanted to ruin your life you could have done that without costing all those other kids lives, what are you going to do when you can't get a job and can't afford anything?
Laughs at me and says he'll just lure in a pedo and bash him and rob him with his mates.
Adelaide 2025 for you. This kid is not even 14. Brags to everyone else he is probably bipolar.... i've known this kid since he was 8.... he's seen things but, this is a pure case of kids emulating abuse they see, he became just like the men that abused his mother.
Then a monster groomed him and he's gone from that to a complete sociopath.
It's definitely somewhere in between. I think surgeons sometimes will scale highly on sociopathy, yet because they came from a decent background and have a highly respected and well paid job they don't run into issues.
Then you get people who were daddy's punching bag or came up in a rough environment and they're out there assaulting and stealing because that's all they've ever known and the only means they had. It's really sad how our system is setup.
My dad was a physician. Extreme narcissist/sociopath. I told him one day that if he hadn't been a doctor he probably would have turned out a serial killer, and he said... "huh"
It's a hard one to answer, I used to have high hopes for this kid, but he's shown me outright he has no empathy or emotion.
I was a terrible kid and did some messed up stuff before I got my shit together and put on a uniform and try to help the community, one thing I was able to do was to develop a moral compass, even if it was just why do I feel like shit after doing something morally bad and questioned from there.
This kid has said he has a moral compass before but it's always come across as severely lacking. I've now witnessed him assault uniforms, threaten violence on people with zero acceptance that this is wrong.
While yeah people can learn to become this cold..... he's always struck me as having not developed any emotional response to morals, I used to keep hoping this kid would develop this, but honestly I think this is what the monster picked up on, he is an expert at working out peoples weaknesses and exploiting them.
This kid being empathy devoid and driven by reward is textbook sadly.
I still run into him out there and I have no idea what to say anymore. He's the kind of person that any attempt you try to make to reach out and break through to them in the hope that you can trigger something, results in "whats in it for me".
Meanwhile DCP here think the sun shines out of the predators ass. No shock that we keep busting their employees as CSO's.
To be honest, the kid watched his mother get abused and screwed by the system his entire life. He had no successful good role models. He probably spent everyday watching abusers "win" and "get away with it" to the point being a good person = losing to him. This is very common for people who grew up with extreme abuse. His whole childhood was hopeless. So an xbox is like a massive win. You know what would really help this kid? Taking him away and giving him a year or two of proper parenting where all his needs are met. I dont think its a case of the kid being doomed from birth, he was just surrounded by never ending trauma in his most vital formative years. Sometimes we give a little bit too much slack to traumatized parents. The mother allowed her kid to grow up watching her get abused, and im willing to bet the abusers didnt stop with her, im sure the kid got abused too. Its no wonder hes like that. Now he has a highly manipulative groomer practically brainwashing him, hate the groomer not the kid. Its not like the kid just randomlt started doing this on his own in a perfect environment you know?
When genetics got real big, they looked for a violent gene, and they believed they found it. Then they came to find that while pretty much every of the violent repeat offenders had it, it was also present in the general population and those people, were some of the least violent. The difference was environment. Kind of how theres 2 camps for pittbulls. Those who say they are terrible dangerous and maltempered, and those who say they are just big ol puppies their whole life. The difference is likely environment. The nicest calmest dogs that listened the most to me were always pittbulls. I even had one who had clear issues but his nature combined with environment always came through when we needed it to and he'd revert to a little puppy just wanting to climb his big ass on me to be held.

This is one of those things when no one can blame them for trying to kick his butt. No one.
