I just recently saw a german documentary about rumanian orphanages and was wondering how many of those babies become sociopaths.

"I asked Anne Marie, the director of the orphanage, where the seven-year-old slept as the room only had small cots. In the corner cot, she pointed with a shrug. He cant stretch out but that is all we have. In her forties, she seemed to run the place with breathtaking complacency and little sign of relating to the children in her care. Most disturbing of all was the unsettling quiet. Babies, whose cries always go unanswered, soon fall silent. As they grow older, they rock back and forth, later they self-harm and become very aggressive.
So I could only begin to imagine what had happened to Florin, a 17-year-old boy abandoned at birth, who Anne Marie told me was so aggressive that he was kept in a room on his own. When I saw him, he was lying apathetically on an old sofa and looking at me with the eyes of a frightened animal.
All he understands is: Stay here now! Anne Marie told us, before pointing out some tiles in the bathroom he had allegedly smashed. My blood ran cold as she continued. I dont have strong enough medicine to keep him calm, so I am trying to move him to an old-age home that does. Florin is given nothing to do and has no one to whom he can talk.
In another room, on an upper floor, there were about 10 shrunken forms in their beds; it was hard to tell their ages, but Anne Marie said they ranged from nine to 26 years old. It was 2pm on a gloriously sunny autumn day, but they were lying inert under grubby blankets, some tied to the bedstead with filthy tape. There were no wheelchairs or a lift; none of them had ever been outside; and the stench of urine and faeces was overwhelming"
