Seeker...You are clearly so perceptive....and so giving...Please don't give too much....You already know that once a sociopath is fully developped, the history of treatment is generally unsuccessful....I know exactly the type of person you are describing....I think that the best thing that any of us can do is to be loving and sensitive to these "clearly at risk" individuals in the hope that we can inspire them to see beyond their current negative circumstances and hold on to the aspiration of a better life despite it......Grace

P.S. Clearly you did this and I hope that this young man was moved and motivated by your kindness and didn't "go to the dark side"....
