Here's an excellent article that's worth reading and bookmarking for future re-reading in trying to understand
how these murdering people develop into their criminal
behaviors. They weren't born bad or evil. As babies and toddlers they learned to be bad and evil due to neglect, abuse,
callousness from parents and an emotional family
life that directed their path. If you can't grasp this reality, read the article again. Bad parenting can and usually will produce bad people. Callous, neglectful parenting produces callous, no empathy humans.
When Your Child Is a Psychopath
Thanks for referenced link.
I disagree with your analysis-- as does the referenced article.
Psychopathy is not black and white.
Not sure why are you blaming the parents and an emotional family life alone?
From your reference:
Researchers believe that two paths can lead to psychopathy: one dominated by nature, the other by nurture.

We have a fairly good idea of what an adult psychopathic brain looks like, thanks in part to Kiehl’s work.
[...]
The first abnormality appears in the limbic system, the set of brain structures involved in, among other things, processing emotions. In a psychopath’s brain, this area contains less gray matter. “It’s like a weaker muscle,” Kiehl says. A psychopath may understand, intellectually, that what he is doing is wrong, but he doesn’t feel it. “Psychopaths know the words but not the music” is how Kiehl describes it. “They just don’t have the same circuitry.”
