  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

Probably not psychopaths. Probably, poor and uneducated who have lived a life of trauma. If you really want to know understand, get out and volunteer or work in social welfare.

i’ve seen the dirty underbelly of society… that doesn’t explain doing that to a kid

Probably, poor and uneducated

I've known a lot of poor and uneducated people in my time, and last I checked, none of them did that to a kid.

Did I say all poor and uneducated people do that? No, I didn’t.
