Plenty of parents do - should I say too many. And there really are some nightmare kids about, ones that will terrorise you and try to destroy your life if you dont do everything they want. It has been estimated that 1% of the population is psychopathic (see below) - that means 1% of kids are too.

Dr. Hare has published numerous articles and book chapters on psychopathy, as well as two books: Psychopathy: Theory and Research (1970) and Without Conscience: The Disturbing World of the Psychopaths Among Us (1993, reissued 1999). He addresses international audiences on every facet of psychopathy, from personality assessment to risk factors to psychopaths among us. While they may appear to be normal members of society, they're anything but. In fact, Hare believes, they are society's most destructive and dangerous type of person. If it's true that psychopaths make up one percent of the population, as he estimates, then we need to pay attention.
