But there is a lot of new evidence from neurology, that psychopaths are born that way. And there is no treatment that can be done, with medication or otherwise. The make up of their brain is completely different. I've even read a known psychiatrist call psychopaths as another species, separate from human.
So. Maybe not kill him. But I would pay close attention, and I'd have professionals very close to the child. Unfortunately, psychopaths aren't born innocent. And one day we'll grasp this whole issue. |
Then those psychiatrist need biology lesson as one basic of species differentiation is that spring of different species (when possible to generate species) are unfertile (most of cases) and would certainly have genetical differences larger than just what we currently have among humans.

I'm not a doctor, so I can't assess this with certainty.
What I know is. A hardcore psychopath can't feel empathy. Because his/her brain, is incapable of it. Usually, as children, they like to torture animals. And some children have even drawn schemes to kill other children, as well as adults. Most psychopaths are very intelligent, and they plan everything as to not get caught. So many of them appear to have normal lives, but they will harm others if they feel they can. They can't feel emotions, but are incredibly astute in simulating them. They can lie with maestry. Even being able to pass lie dtector tests with ease. Their neural activity is completely different from a normal person's.
Hitler, in my opinion, was born a monster. As he was likely a hardcore psychopath. Even then, of course I wouldn't kill him as a child. But I would keep close attention to his deeds, and his development.
