Dear Chris,
> all children are born psychotic
Let's give this meme a rest, OK?
It might have fit with our understanding 50 years ago, but we have learned a lot since then.
> tearing off the wings of chickens is 'understandable' for children
Not friggin' hardly! Children are no angels, but children who mutilate animals are headed for trouble (not psychosis), as well as the people they come in contact with.
Take care,
Bill
