I downloaded Kolar's book "Foreign Faction on my Kindle and just finished reading Chapter 33 - about the behavior disorder commonly referred to SBP (Sexual Behavior Problems)in children. I've never heard of this disorder until this case and the research he shared was certainly mind blowing and insightful. The documented evidence on this subject suggested that the bulk of children diagnosed with SBP were at very low risk for committing future offenses especially when provided with appropriate treatment. In fact, he mentions John Douglas's thought that the person that killed JBR was a "mission oriented offender" and would not likely kill again. Just wanted to say that with Kolar's inside knowledge and thorough reearch, this book answers many questions brought up in this forum and adds a few more pieces to the puzzle. It certainly has put a few things in perspective for me.It's a horrible thing to contemplate, isn't it? That a young child of almost 10 could do such a thing....But I rather agree with the Colorado law - I doubt seriously that even a very disturbed child truly understands death and its permanence. BR may have thought his sister would just get up and be fine at some point. Or maybe he sort of understood what had happened, but not the consequences to himself or his family. The ability to grasp the reality is not reliably there.
But then again, he could really be a sociopath, no remorse at all. I know that once I grasped the reality of my mother's death (I was 10), I was truly grieving and missed her deeply for a long time. I didn't get that impression from Burke's interviews, or his behavior at the funeral, and jumping to his recent interview with DP. I get the distinct impression that he's still pretty happy about it and knows that he's off the hook (at least in this life). His parents did him a disservice by covering for him, and they deserted poor JonBenet altogether.
