Suppose you are sitting in a park with a 6-year-old girl and her 5-year-old younger brother playing next to you. You caressed the girl and asked, "What do you want your brother to do?" You might have thought the girl would say, "To caress." But how would you feel if the child answered, "Kill you" instead? The scene is fictional but the incident is real. The words of Beth Thomas, an 8-year-old innocent girl in 1990, shocked the world.
It is important to know who Beth Thomas was before misinterpreting the title "Psychopath" given by people after the documentary.

The incident began with Tim and Julie's decision to adopt a child. Tim and his wife, Julie, who worked at a Christian church, decided to adopt a child because they could not have children.
The adoption process usually takes a long time to get a young child. But luckily within a few months of applying for adoption, they got the news that they would be able to adopt a 19-month-old girl, but the condition was that the girl should also adopt her 9-month-old younger brother. This news makes Tim and Julie even happier.
At the same time, they are happy to be the parents of two children and bring Beth and her brother Jonathan home. Before they start living with the two new babies, they notice that the two babies aren't as normal as they used to be. They see Jonathan can't lift his hand over his head.
The shape of the back of Jonathan's head was no longer the same as that of the five children. Rather it was quite flat. This happens if the baby is not picked up from the bed for a long time. This time Tim and Julie realize Beth and Jonathan have something unusual in their past. They found out that the two children were growing up in extreme neglect, their mother Beth died when she was one year old. Then they grew up with their father.
Jonathan was in a very dirty bed when they were found. For a long time he was not cleaned. Even from the milk bottles around her, it is understood that the baby survived by consuming spoiled milk. After finding the two children in this way, a social worker took custody of the two children 6 months later. Tim and Julie began to love each other more and more as parents as they learned about the past hardships of their two children.

After that, their life was going well with the children for some time. But the problem started when Beth started walking and talking. Because from the moment he started walking, Beth tried to kill his younger brother. When he began to speak, it was known that he had a terrible nightmare.
Tim and Julie thought that maybe as a child Beth had nightmares of not getting food or neglect, and that's why he tried to kill Jonathan. They were trying to make Beth forget such words and enjoy a new life. But from the moment Beth began to express her thoughts, they realized that everything was not as easy as they thought. Beth sees in her dreams a man wearing her and hurting her with any one part.
Hearing such nightmares, they try to find out more about Beth's past. Then they learn that Beth's father had sexually abused her since she died. The man seen in his dream is none other than his own father. The birth father tortured his 1-year-old daughter until she turned bloody.
In the absence of his parents, he would hit Jonathan in the stomach so hard that Jonathan's food could not be digested and he developed a nutritional disorder. Tim and Julie desperately tried to stop Beth from behaving this way with love. But none of their actions could remove the hatred from Beth's mind. Beth had to be locked in a room at night because they might even kill Beth Jonathan if they went to sleep. One day Julie couldn't find a box to hold the sewing tools, and after a while she went to the children's room and saw a horrible sight.
Beth took the needle out of the sewing box and inserted it into Jonathan's body. They still try to convince Beth. All of this happened from the time Beth learned to walk until she was 3 years old. The destructive tendencies in behavior tend to increase rather than change in Beth with age.
As Beth grows older, her violent behavior increases;

When Beth is 4, Julie realizes she lost a knife in the kitchen one day. Although she remembers Beth at first, she regrets that she only suspects a four-year-old child. As a result, he did not ask Beth anything. But one day, when Beth asked Julie about the knife, she was shocked. He asks Beth if he has seen the knife. Beth Job
