This horror2 person...
Is retarded. I've seen multiple posts from this person and each gets worse than the last.
shareThank you very much for your opinion. Did you think I wouldn't see it?
I've been waiting for you, Ben.

I wouldn't normally comment on a rude personal attack post like this but something needs to be said. Horror2's posts on here are completely disturbing and I truly hope that nobody reading their misguided posts thinks it's ok to ignore clear symptoms of a very dangerous disorder. Psychopathy is a VERY serious disorder. There is NO treatment and NO cure. Violent children displaying signs of antisocial personality disorder need to be put away in isolation before they can harm innocent people around them. People looking the other way on this behaviour or thinking they can fix the kid with "love" are the reason we have Ted Bundy's out there. I think the movie made it clear that he was a psychopath or sociopath when they showed us that he tortured animals (one of the Mcdonald triad traits), something that had nothing to do with his sister or parent's attention. It doesn't really matter whether or not the parents treated him as nicely as they should have, the kid was done for, he could not be saved.
shareThank you for your opinion. I really do respect it. After watching the movie a few more times I have come to realize you may be right. His parents really weren't as attentive as they could've been but many people have bad parents and don't kill people. Despite all he did I still can't help but sympathize with Joshua, though. I imagine it must be difficult to be like him. You'd always feel like an outsider staring into a society where you don't belong. It must feel very strange watching people in situations of pure emotion and know you could never feel them yourself, only imitate them. You'd sort of like an alien. That seems like such a sad, lonely existence.
shareThank you!! People don't realize how dangerous this thing is! And not only are parents victimized by the sociopath child, they are further subjected to the scrutiny and accusations by teachers, other family members etc. These outsiders will say, "Oh, he's a good boy" and have other outrageous opinions until they too fall prey to being their next target. Your post just about brought tears to my eyes.
shareBoth of yours gave me tears. My stepdaughter (who turned out twelve years after the fact to not even be my ex-husband's bio daughter)---provisionally diagnosed with FDAS and as anitisocial/sociopath---would line forks, knives, and scissors on our bed, for instance (she's done worse, held the knife to my pregnant belly; I lost Isaiah only months before he was due) and we'd ask for help and they'd say, she's just a child, you'll be good, right, So-And-So? I wanted to help her so bad and I couldn't believe it that the church clergy and doctors would literally pat her on her head and say something, invalidating what was
going on.
I wish nothing had been wrong with her.
An update: turns out she was molested. By her dad. She wouldn't be the last... no wonder she was f--ked up. Had ANYONE taken us seriously, so much pain could have been avoided and we'd have found out sooner and then... my girls could have been safe.
