    “When a toddler kills someone in cold blood…” You live in a strange, sad, non-existent little world.

    “Figure out what went wrong…” Like… figure out why a toddler is a psychopath? Once again, you live in a strange, sad, non-existent little world.

    I shouldn’t need to give you a crash course on the mentalities and development of young children. You should realize what’s stupid about what you’re saying on your own.

    I’ll say this though: people who believe that children should “behave” in a way that resembles adults in any capacity are the extreme majority of child abusers. Not malicious people— people who are ignorant and controlling. If you think 6-year-olds can be mass-murdering psychopaths in the way that adults can be, you are likely one of the kinds of people who would be overbearing and then eventually frustrated enough with your child to abuse them. Source: me, survivor of a whole lot of child abuse from a lot of different people, and I’m writing a novel partially about this whole subject.
