Name a negative occurance from childhood that many serial killers seem to have in common?

Question

Although correct, none of the first twelve responses include the "negative occurance" I was thinking of. :)

Answer 1

the three major signs are prolonged bed wetting, pyromania, and animal abuse those seem to be the major ones found in serial killers also there is usually there is a harsh upbringing

Answer 2

Almost all serial killers were either sexually molested or abused in some sort of way, psychologically abused, (told they are worthless, unwanted, and will amount to nothing) and also emotionally abused (given mixed or seductive messages, then rejected when they don't know how to respond).

Answer 3

Emotional "detachment"...those who are born within families who don't look after them, and show no interest in their children what so ever....It is a step beyond negligence.....and these children tend to become emotionally numb, for the simple reason that they were never taught to feel.

I heard they start young by torturing little animals to death, not necessarily that psychos come from dysfunctional families.
