I meant, how does it appear he is prostituting himself for drugs? How was that conclusion reached and why?

It's an inference being stated as fact based on some online activity that we can't discuss yet, I think mods are thinking it over.

For the record, I've read the source material in question (the online activity ) and I don't agree with the conclusion that he was selling himself. Some of it is ambiguous but I just don't agree with the interpretation yet, or at least not stating it as fact.

Situational child molesters

a. Don’t have a true sexual interest in children

b. Will experiment with children when stress is introduced into life

i. Seen as victim of circumstance

c. Has the fewest number of victims

d. Will not limit victims to just children but will also prey upon the elderly, sick, or mentally impaired

BBM: This is strikes me as being TH. Sick mind, opportunistic and zero impulse control.

bbm

Exactly.

Thanks. I thought maybe I had missed something. Clearly, I did!!

Same here ... I missed what ever is going on.

Whatever this info is I would love to see it so hope the mods approve so we can all make up our own minds.

Interesting. So would that mean that TH had some remorse for what he did? Did he want to be caught or was he just that dumb and extemely nervous? Or both?

If I recall correctly, he could still exhibit many symptoms of psychopathy (as diagnostic criteria tends to overlap a lot anyway) without meeting the strict definition. He probably would've qualified for oppositional defiance disorder when he was younger. He clearly shows the thrill-seeking and impulse control characteristics and I think it goes without saying he's deficient in the empathy department.

His deviancy probably just doesn't manifest such that he can funnel it to manipulate others for his own benefit. He's reckless and not charming in a traditional sense. I need to read up on the distinctions between Antisocial Personality Disorder and psychopathy again, but I feel like in either case it'd mean more of a "hiding in plain sight" situation, or he'd at least have more superficial markers of success. Hell, AS was studying mortuary sciences but people, including his girlfriend, came out to voice their surprise, right?

I find it hard to believe that his mother was not abused by him.

I think if you ask a doctor or a nurse that delivers babies, they will not feel that a baby is born evil. What they will tell you is that they fear for the baby because of the life they will be going to.

A friend just had a baby that had to stay in the neonatal intensive care unit. There are beds there for people.

There was the one couple whose baby returned to NICU. The baby was coughing. Dr came in and asked who had been smoking. Dad told dr how smoking was no problem. Besides, they gave the baby the nebulizer treatments that their five year old had.

Baby is in isolation . Everyone entering the room wears haz mat suits because baby cannot be exposed to any germs.

Father and mother are in a huge fight over baby's last name. Father cheated on mother the day they first went to hospital, so she did not put his name on the birth certificate.

Baby may not live, but this is their concern. I won't go into the other parents there. If these children make it alive, I give them zero chance of being ok. Born evil? Um, no.

I missed whatever it was too and now I'm intrigued...

Like he was just grasping for something to fill a need, and perhaps even he couldn't figure out what he wanted.

What disturbs me most is the fact that he placed an ad just over an hour and a half after her body was discovered.

You guys are going to get me in trouble at home if I keep looking at this stuff. :floorlaugh:

Good catches though.

As for July 1st. Guess he needed some "release" and/or more drugs.

I wonder if his mother did drugs while pregnant with him and scrambled his brain.

If she did drugs, there would also be the lack of appropriate care. The lack of correct emotional response. There are many studies on the "dance " between mother and child in terms of eye interaction, mimicking baby's vocalizations, responding to a baby's cries, holding, and ?????

I know people are going to go crazy on this, but a speech clinician at school when I taught, gave me research on the impacts of marijuana use while pregnant.

Crack , a few years ago, apparently had no long term effects?

Alcohol while pregnant is the most toxic drug of all. There are hundreds of impacts. The damage to the brain cannot be remediated, that we know of at this time, because actual parts of the brain are missing.

Hard to tell what impacts are because we cannot recreate the conditions of a mother drinking. Apparently, father"s use of alcohol has impacts as well.

I know my foster kids' mother did cocaine when pregnant but do not know what else. My foster son's expressive speech was in bottom 1% though on nonverbal tests he was something like top 3%. He was in elementary school. Foster daughter was very delayed and a toddler. I hope she improved with intervention once she went home but their case was transferred to the care of an agency in the state they'd moved to so am not sure. *sigh* Drugs surely did a number on them.
