Yes, I totally agree. They say that if infants don't bond with their primary care-giver by the age of nine months, they have a very hard time even recognizing other people as humans with emotions. People are like dolls to them. This is a pretty common theme with serial killers.
And if kids don't get a pretty solid foundation and sense that the world is a safe place by the age of three, they're 90% more likely to commit a violent crime. Any sort of abuse is exponentially more detrimental the younger the child is.
...hi, I read too much about corporal punishment in my spare time.
