@OmSigDAVID,
What is
the reason for leaving aside
what Paul Frick and Robert Hare said ?
The child is the victim of that mental disorder,
tho, in turn, he will inflict himself, his abuses, upon too many
innocent victims, but
NOT the Hansen girls.
THAY took matters in hand.
I bow and tip my hat to them !

Well, I've been connected with adoptions (here) for about 25 years, directly and indirectly.
We seem to have a total different approach to adoptions: we look at the welfare of the child first, thus many willing parents can't adopt. Because they can't be parents for various reasons of that child.
Frick's and Hansen's are thought to have an outsider theory here.
Children are children in our opinion (you see that, for instance, that children under 14 don't go to juvenile courts when they did something or to prison, can't get arrested, that punishment according our juvenile criminal law [for those between 14 and 18 resp 21 up to 25] is educational [sic!]etc etc).
