Child Abuse: A Critical Public Health Crisis and Its Link to Sociopathy
June 19, 2023
By Chanci Turner
4 Comments
UPDATED FOR 2023. I recently found myself in a disturbing situation while in line at a store, where a man was berating his two young daughters, aged around two and four. One child was in a stroller while the other was subjected to his harsh yelling and threats. The older girl, in tears, was met with further aggression when she couldn’t stop crying.
It made me wonder—what happens to these children when they’re home? If this man is behaving this way in public, how much worse is it at home? This is child abuse, plain and simple, and the effects will likely haunt these girls for their entire lives.
If you’ve experienced similar trauma, particularly from a sociopathic parent, you may find it explains a lot about your own life.

Sociopaths are prolific liars, and that’s their primary form of manipulation. Research indicates that most individuals can only discern a lie about 53% of the time. Here are nine reasons you might struggle to recognize a sociopath’s deceit, some stemming from their behavior and others from your own perceptions.
- Every Statement May Be a Lie
Once you identify someone as a sociopath, you must accept that nearly everything they say could be untrue. They lie as easily as they breathe. If you lack independent verification of their words, assume they are false.
This realization can be jarring. In contrast to normal individuals, who may lie occasionally, sociopaths live in a world of deception.

Dr. Katz’s perspective is crucial: society has failed by allowing countless abusive individuals to thrive.

Many individuals who have been involved with sociopaths report that their sexual encounters were exceptional. A survey I conducted found that 78% of respondents described “sexual magnetism” as a notable aspect of their relationship with a sociopath.
