Amygdalotomy?So here's my question. What do you do with the kid? Do you just say, oh well, better luck next time and leave the kid for the parents to deal with? And how would you even deal with that?
Amygdalotomy?
Yes, I've watched several documentaries on "those places." Positively horrifying!!If he's a psychopath that will be a nightmare for other residents and staff.
If he's not a psychopath, its more more likely he will be further damaged in longterm juvenile detention or a longterm psychiatric home than helped.
That's why they closed most of those places, as we've been discussing in the Bondi thread.
Amygdalotomy?
Surgery for psychiatric problems is wrong IN MY OPINIONAmygdalotomy - Wikipedia

The case of the six-year-old shooting the teacher in Virginia did not go to jail. He got to go to a new school, live with this great grandfather, while his mother serves 2 years. Grandfather says he's doing great.
Moo
Oh wow.
My daughter is 6 and a half and the thought wouldn't even enter her head.
What has this child been exposed to I wonder?
It's so hard to comprehend this lack of empathy, of right and wrong, life and death. This child isn't 2, although he may be very developmental delayed. It frightens me that he volunteered the information in detail, like what he ate for breakfast. No reason, not anger or revenge, he just shot / killed him.What else should happen with a 6-year-old like this? Prosecuting the mother/gun owner was absolutel
Violent movies or video games, maybe? If a child sees examples of violence and also knows just where to find a gun, we couldn't rightly know the thought wouldn't cross their minds. They are children -- immature, impulsive, lacking true empathy until at least age 8 or 9. IMO.
I can't imagine grandpa knowing and covering for him.
IMHO, he is a sociopath and needs to be kept locked up but I know that won't happen. What should we be doing as a society to protect ourselves when someone shows who and what they are at such a young age?I almost can't believe this is real. What do you do with a kid like this?
