What would you do if this were your daughter?

[Berzerker]

obviously it would be up to the family

[DinoDoc]

she's a brat, people recover from being brats - usually that recovery comes when faced with some crushing reality, like having to attend a funeral and see the weeping faces.

You assume that she is capable of empathy.

[Berzerker]

of course, to the best of my knowledge I never met anyone incapable of empathy so I'd have to say people like that are especially rare

she's a brat who threw a temper tantrum, she needs to grow up. A funeral would age her a bit...

[DinoDoc]

She passed brat quite awhile ago, Berz. Budding psychopath would be the more appropiate term.

[Berzerker]

oh well, you assume what you want and I'll assume what I want. Now if she's killing little critters with glee I might agree more with your assessment, but a self-centered little brat throwing a temper tantrum is not a psychopath.

[Ming]

Gee... I guess there is really no need for people to ever see a doctor since they can easily and exactly be diagnosed by reading a third party news clipping. It's nice to know it's such an exact science

[Berzerker]

If I'm wrong I aint her daddy so I dont have to sleep with one eye open

That was a movie plot, Mr Brooks. Kevin Costner plays a psycho killer with a daughter who starts exhibiting behavior he recognizes in himself and starts worrying about his own safety

[DanielXY]

I dont get why the cops death is in any ways significant to the story?
If Im not mistaken he just died randomly on his way to their house, right?

So why should she feel guilty about his death?

She's well beyond brat. She's a sociopath. BTW, not all sociopaths torture small animals and go on to become sexual sadists and serial killers. In fact, the great majority do not.

[Berzerker]

why is she a sociopath?

[Elok]

Mmm, punitive deliciousness...

Y'know, he never said he'd make her EAT it...

This girl doesn't sound necessarily sociopathic, just bonkers in general. And I agree with the XY fellow; a freak accident en route doesn't count as "causing" his death. She contributed, but in a very minor way and unintentionally. Which isn't to say I wouldn't feel guilty about it, in her place, but guilt isn't always rational.

[chequita guevara]

why is she a sociopath?

Because she shows now empathy towards other human beings.

[Blaupanzer]

The girl needs medication and supervision, if that fails, send her to war, she'll do well.

The warriors won't want her around. War is, in part, about directed rage. Out of control people are dangerous to themselves and those around them.

[Japher]

I don't see how there aren't charges against her.

[Ming]

Because she shows now empathy towards other human beings.

And you know that as a fact by reading an internet story focused on a snap shot in time, and from the single point of view of reporter...

Maybe you should hang out a shingle and call yourself a professional...
