A member asked:
Are parents who abuse their kids psychopaths? what can be done to change their behavior?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NOT NECESSARILY: Many parents have a conscience and are ignorant and frustrated and don't know what to do. But it takes courage to ask for help and devulge a problem. And some abusive parents are troubled themselves or addicted to drugs or alcohol. When you speak of humans, each case has to be examined before you know the answers.
