Is My Child A Future Psychopath? In this back-to-back video of the series “Minds to Crime,“ the first episode delves into the controversial topic of identifying potential adult criminals among young children. It explores the case of Cody, a six-year-old exhibiting alarming violent behavior towards animals, leading a psychotherapist to fear for his future as an extremely dangerous individual. Scientific studies reveal abnormal brain activity in children like Cody, shedding light on the biological factors that may contribute to a life of crime. However, ethical concerns arise regarding labeling and singling out children as potential criminals. The second episode continues the exploration, focusing on the brain abnormalities and low arousal levels found in children at risk of criminal behavior. It presents real-life cases of individuals with impulsive and violent tendencies, highlighting the potential role of chemical or physical dysfunctions in explaining their actions. The episodes raise questions about guilt, genetic predispositions, and the need for both biological and social interventions to prevent future crime.
