Unmasking the Mask: 69 Shocking Signs Psychopaths Use to Hide in Plain Sight
Teacher here- not psychologist.
I had a student in 3rd grade, 8 yrs old or so. Transferred from another school. He was very quiet, kept to himself, not talkative at all. He had an IEP (special ed). I do not recall what for. Anyway, one day my back was turned, I was writing on the dry erase board, when suddenly I hear a scream. I turn around and a student had a pencil stuck to their hand. I immediately asked what happened. All the students said “M” had stabbed him. I didn’t know why or what triggered him to do it. When I turned to M he was sitting quietly at his desk like nothing had happened.
I was shocked because i couldn’t understand why he would do such a thing. I then decided to look through his folder that came from his other school. I found an anecdotal from his previous teacher. In the notes she explained how M had stabbed another child on the chin with a pencil. I gasped and immediately wrote a letter to my principal asking for M to be removed from my class for the safety of my other students and mine.
Before this could happen we had to meet with his parents. Day of the meeting came, mom is present and so is baby sister (about 3-4 yrs old). We explain to her what transpired. She explains to us that he hasn’t been the same since dad left them. Mom also said they were already seeing a psychologist as a family. I felt awful! Towards the end of the meeting I notice baby sister has burn scars on her hands and arms. I ask mom what happened. She tells us that M poured alcohol on her and set her on FIRE!!!! That did it for me. I knew I could not and should not have him in my classroom. I made sure he was taken out immediately.
