<font color="yellow">Later in this chapter we discuss specific abusive situations that make us very uncomfortable and, partly for that reason, these acts are not researched nearly as well as they should be. Examples: very violent or threatening people, rapists, incest perpetrators, sexual and emotional abusers of children, molesters, people who inflict pain and torture children, etc. Mental illness may be a much more powerful factor in these behaviors than we believe at this time, consider, e.g. Andrea Yates, the post-partum depressed mother who killed all 5 of her children, and Susan Smith, who drowned her children by sinking her car in a lake. The “evil” notion may still play a role in our thinking about these kinds of behavior too, even in our courts.
