An 8 year old girl who is trained to be a killing machine. Thoughts?

I%26#039;m not good with psychology. This question is for a story I%26#039;m writing. Let%26#039;s say there%26#039;s this 8-yr old girl, who was raised in solitude, rarely goes into the outside world. She was raised to kill innnocent people just for pleasure. She has vast knowledge of hanguns and all that. Her name is Lily. She was raised buy this guy let%26#039;s call him the Master, who taught her to kill people. She loves him more than anything, since he%26#039;s the only person she knows.The Master doesn%26#039;t care about her and uses her as a tool. But when authorities take her away, she is sent to therapy.





How do you think she will turn out when she is separated from her caretaker? How will she be around other children? What would a therapist do? What will she become when she%26#039;s a teen?





THOUGHTS?





Please note that this is for a work of fiction. I%26#039;m a writer. I%26#039;m not that great with psychology and when I try to look it up, I can%26#039;t find anything





Please help!!!

An 8 year old girl who is trained to be a killing machine. Thoughts?
This kid is obviously gonna have some serious issues :)


You might think about different areas of development, like language (she will talk just like Master, since he%26#039;s the only voice she%26#039;s heard), physical growth (children with little stimulation tend to be smaller), mental capabilities (did he teach her to read, write, etc.?), response to unknown stimuli (for example, the sun, cars, a hairbrush).


When she gets separated from Master, she%26#039;s likely to become violent (as I%26#039;m sure you could have guessed). Interactions with other people will probably mainly consist of fighting, anger, hostility, unless Master is around and tells her to stop. Eventually, seeing Master would make her more hostile and aggressive. More than likely, a child like this would be medicated almost immediately, and would probably have to have doses of tranquilizers or anti-anxiety meds frequently (Ativan tends to be a common one to use with children).


She will probably isolate when around other children, or just people in general. She%26#039;ll pull away, not talk much, and when she does talk, it%26#039;ll be mean or hostile. The other kids won%26#039;t like her, and will either pick on her or run away out of fear. She won%26#039;t really be able to form strong attachments with anyone.


A therapist would, as I said, probably depend on a lot of medication to stablize her long enough for therapy. She would likely be isolative in the first sessions, until she was able to get accustomed to the therapist. This could take weeks, but more than likely, months. The therapist (who would almost have to be female) would probably engage Lily in play therapy, using dolls, art, and toys to get her to express her thoughts and feelings without words, especially if they were means for play in her isolated life. It%26#039;s unlikely Lily will be able to verbalize herself effectively, so those methods would be most useful.


As time went on and she was able to speak more clearly, the therapist would probably engage in social skills training, and well as empathy training, a series of trainings to teach her to relate well to others. Anger management would probably be in the works, also, as I%26#039;m sure she%26#039;d be a little hot under the collar.


If Lily is to succeed (and it%26#039;s likely she won%26#039;t) outside of jail and/ or a psychiatric hospital for any amount of time, she%26#039;s going to need a strong will, a consistent adoptive family and therapist who will confront her violence and not back down from her threats, a natural intelligence to help make up for the time she spent not learning, a good outlet for her violent tendencies (think punching bag, shooting ranges- maybe she becomes an avid hunter?), an ability for self-reflection, and LOTS of supervision. When she%26#039;s not able to act out her violent impulses on others, it%26#039;s likely she%26#039;ll do it to herself (self-mutilation) if not kept supervised.


Lily would likely end up with one (or all of) these diagnoses from age 8 to the teen years: Reactive Attachment Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Conduct Disorder, ADHD, not to mention the tendency toward depression, anxiety, or psychosis.


Of course, some of this would vary depending on her personality, but she%26#039;s probably not looking at much of a life in the outside world. More than likely, her actions are going to land her in jail or a psych hospital permanantly.


She%26#039;ll never be normal, but the goal for people like this is to function in a normal society without getting in trouble with the law or without putting their own life in danger.
Reply:Since she was only killing at the behest of her %26quot;master,%26quot; if he%26#039;s not around to give her the order to kill, I don%26#039;t believe that she would do it. She would generally be depressed due to the separation, and listless, not knowing what to do with her time, and how to do it.





I think she would be a lonely outsider, ignorant in the ways of how kids socially interact with each other. Probably, they would pick on her, because she was %26quot;weird%26quot; or %26quot;different.%26quot; If they threatened her physically, she might snap and use karate killing techniques on them.





A therapist would try to deal with her loneliness, and try to instill a new value system in her which didn%26#039;t include killing on command.





As a teen, she would be %26quot;troubled.%26quot; Her memories of killing would haunt her dreams; she would feel like an outsider. She%26#039;d either fall in with a %26quot;bad crowd%26quot; that would get her back into her old ways, or she might become withdrawn, sullen, non-communitive, and perhaps, homeless.
Reply:Lily would basically turn into a sociopath. With no prior experience in social activites my opinion is she would be selfish and violent, leading her to hurt other children with no remorse. My guess is therapists wouldn%26#039;t leave her around other children right away, however. To begin with, they would first attempt to curb some of her tendencies by focusing them into positive areas outside of violence. Lily would most likely react badly to this and may strike out even more, feeling that these therapists and other people have taken away the only person in her life she cared about. She would see them as the enemy and resent them, if not try to harm them.


I would also assume that as a teenager she would end up being a bit of a sadist, although not neccessarily a loner. She might actually even seek out other people as a means to vent her emotions through violence. She would continue to resent authority figures and my guess is she%26#039;d either learn to act during her therapy sessions or she would be removed from society to be placed in an insane asylum for the safety of others.


At the same time, this girl may begin to seek companionship from other people, and soon find that her personality is generally one that will only lead others to avoid her. She will undoubtably attempt to win over friends with humor, but chances are her humor will be sadistic and cruel, leading more people to fear or resent her. Eventually, she would probably come to resent society as a whole, making her even more likely to hurt people without remorse.


(This is mostly conjecture from a psychological standpoint, seeing as how I have never met a girl in this situation. However, I have met children who were removed from their parents and I have met children who have never learned social norms and activities.)
