I would prefer to fight the cause as well - if one could be found that
didn't begin and end with the perp. This type of behaviour is almost
certainly to do with brain damage (meaning chemical imbalances, etc.).
But "treatment" of this would not console me, as a parent, in the
least. Either we "fix" them permanently or "treat" them at arms
length, through rubber rooms. I would support early detection of such
problems as well, if it were possible and 100% accurate.

Anything less than 100% accuracy, however, I would be solidly against. :)
