Is it possible for a child (person) to have genetically inherited bad, "evil" traits?

Evil? no i wouldnt say "evil" traits.. bad habbits, mannerisms, certain personality traits yes.. but babys dont come out "evil" they learn evil behavior due to crappy parenting. whether its through actions, movies, music, etc..
Most kids that act out because they are seeking attention even if its negative attention its still attention.. or its because some kind of psychological trama has occured and because they are to immature to understand what has happened, they act out , out of anger..
Could be as simple as a "divorce" , they lost a parent, and they cant understand why, and they are so upset, that they cant understand it enough to make sense of it, and so the anger inside of them builds and they act out because they are so upset..and dont know how else to vent the anger they are feeling. They feel abandoned, and start feeling as if no one wants them and they start pushing everyone that "does" love them away but actting out, because they figure eventually those people will leave them too.. so why not have it happen now, rather then later..
Theres a million and one reasons why a child may act out.. but i dont think its fair to blame it on "EVIL " genetics..
If thats true, then that would be like saying.. 2 parents that are Japanese, spoken Japanese all their lives..centuries of Japanese decendants...etc..if they had a baby today, and adopted it out to a family tomorrow that is american and only speaks english.. the child isnt going to hit 2 years old and just speak Japanese just because they are of Japanese decent..?? Would the Japanese culture just be inherited into his brain? of course not.. certain things are just learned behaviors..
And with most children, if they did something bad once and it got the reaction they wanted out of the parent.. they will do it again and again, untill they get bored when their not getting the same response.. a toddler.. throws a tempertantrum.. if a parent, plays to it, the child will do it again.. and with some if they are punished for it, they will stop, if they were intimidated by it, but u can also simply ignore it..and eventually when they dont get the response they wanted.. the "attention" they stop doing it..and try to find another way to get what they want..and if u praise them for handling it the right way, they learn to seek POSITIVE attention..

God, I could right a novel about this. I feel like a bad seed and so does my cousin. We are good upstanding citizens, but we have done things in our life that we knew were wrong and did them anyway. Mostly it concerned hurting others emotionally because of our actions. We always say we can't help it and it must be somewhere in our blood. It would have to be way back because our immediate families are perfect. So, yeah, according to myself and my cousin you can inherit bad traits. We just want to know who the other bad seed in our family was!

So on account which you became out ok, we ought to consistently enable in anybody? "All" is a be conscious that can by no potential be used for human beings in any difficulty. however the fact nevertheless maintains to be that a great proportion of illegals are criminals of their own u . s . a .. Illegals don't have the funds or training to maintain themselves from being a burden to their new society (it extremely is a call for for citizenship). and not all illegals are enamoured with us of a of america and desiring to stay here. i'm happy citizenship at last got here upon your loved ones and you're doing so nicely. yet whilst this grow to be 1940, i might have demanded your father bypass abode because it would be nicely and robust for that factor as much because it extremely is for at present. Now, ask your question in Mexico. they're having protests againts unlawful low-salary Panamanians entering Mexico. the international isn't something if no longer ironic.

I do think some children seem like they come straight from the devils seed. But i believe its to do with what food they eat what movies they watch. No one is pure evil.

Oh, the whole nature vs nurture debate. That's an unanswered question! Personally, I don't believe so.

children are not born evil. everything they learn they learn from the people taking care of them. if you go around cussing at them or each other then they will learn those words too. you have to be so careful raising kids.

Good question......I think it's possible because their parents or one of them could be that way and they could inherited their attitude

I guess its possible, but most behavior is learned . Most kids see what their parents or adults they look up to, how they behave and mimic it.

no. my answer is the same as what Vanessaoz said, it's what they learn along the way.
