Click the title above to view the 12 minute ABC Catalyst Video along with a transcript of the documentary of the same name.
Although it is largely taboo to suggest that children can be labelled psychopaths, it begs the question - do they suddenly blossom at age 18?
Of course not, and recent research into brain function and the development of the emotional centre within - the AMYGDALA - has confirmed that the defining traits of psychopathy are evident in children at a very young age.
This documentary is a primer, but for a fuller explanation in a 20 minute interview with the child psychology and developmental expert, Professor Mark Dadds, please click here:

The good news is that Professor Dadds believes that the development of brain pathways can be improved and that these children are not pre-destined to become full blown psychopaths.
