Have you seen any version of the bad seed? How would a parent deal with that child?

In today's modern world?Have you seen any version of the bad seed? How would a parent deal with that child?
I've seen the black and white from the early 60s I think. The problem with the bad seed concept in the movie was that the girl was so manipulative that her mother didn't realize she was a psychopath until it was too late. I think that there's enough info out there now that detection would be much earlier in a child actually afflicted with a lack of empathy.Have you seen any version of the bad seed?

I was in a production of The Bad Seed many years ago.





The premise, of course, is that the mother is in denial, so she has no idea her child is ';a bad seed.';





Nowadays, such a child would be considered seriously mentally ill and would be hospitalized.





All the best.
