Even if he DID have some sort of psychopathic "gene", the chances are slim he'd be doing this **** if his mother wasn't doing something blatantly wrong. Not trying to be the asshole here. (Well, not that I really mind, but still...)
You don't have to have a sense of empathy in order to not be a danger to other people. And many people WITH compassion are a danger to the people around them. This is certainly the case with the mother because she clearly cares for her son so much that she doesn't really give a damn what he does to her other children or to other people in the world.
Either "nip it in the bud" while he's young & can still learn at the very least how to acknowledge a conceptualization of human suffering, or be an idiot & find out what happens next just because you're SCARED. Scared? Yeah, so are your other kids, but apparently they should be treated as lesser beings in this situation.
And I'm not even going to get into the whole "omg, every heartless person is a serial killer lying in wait" stuff because that is so delusional even I can't give it the liberty of a well thought-out response.
