[0:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/331glPGnZTrp/en/beth-s-therapy-interview-childhood-abuse-and-threats-to-her-family?t=19) And what, at nighttime, what do your parents do to your door? [0:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/331glPGnZTrp/en/beth-s-therapy-interview-childhood-abuse-and-threats-to-her-family?t=26) Lock it shut. Mm, why do they lock it shut? [0:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/331glPGnZTrp/en/beth-s-therapy-interview-childhood-abuse-and-threats-to-her-family?t=29) 'Cause they don't want me to hurt John. Right.

[0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/331glPGnZTrp/en/beth-s-therapy-interview-childhood-abuse-and-threats-to-her-family?t=41) Mm-hmm. Okay. Are they afraid that you might hurt them?

[0:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/331glPGnZTrp/en/beth-s-therapy-interview-childhood-abuse-and-threats-to-her-family?t=51) Nighttime. Okay. Why would you do nighttime? [0:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/331glPGnZTrp/en/beth-s-therapy-interview-childhood-abuse-and-threats-to-her-family?t=56) Because I don't like them seeing me do it, but they can feel me do it. [1:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/331glPGnZTrp/en/beth-s-therapy-interview-childhood-abuse-and-threats-to-her-family?t=61) Mm-hmm. And what would you do to him, Beth?

The program you are about to see was compiled from the actual therapy tapes of Dr. Ken McGidd, a clinical psychologist specializing in the treatment of severely abused children, children so traumatized in the first years of life that they do not bond with other people. [1:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/331glPGnZTrp/en/beth-s-therapy-interview-childhood-abuse-and-threats-to-her-family?t=92) They are children who cannot love or accept love, children without conscience, who can hurt or even kill without remorse. [1:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/331glPGnZTrp/en/beth-s-therapy-interview-childhood-abuse-and-threats-to-her-family?t=102) This film shows the devastating effects of abuse on a child. [1:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/331glPGnZTrp/en/beth-s-therapy-interview-childhood-abuse-and-threats-to-her-family?t=106) It also shows that victims can be helped. [1:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/331glPGnZTrp/en/beth-s-therapy-interview-childhood-abuse-and-threats-to-her-family?t=109) It is the story of a six-and-a-half-year-old girl named Beth. [1:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/331glPGnZTrp/en/beth-s-therapy-interview-childhood-abuse-and-threats-to-her-family?t=116) Do you ever stick pins in people? Mm-hmm. [1:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/331glPGnZTrp/en/beth-s-therapy-interview-childhood-abuse-and-threats-to-her-family?t=119) Who? My brother. Okay. Do you do it a little bit or a lot? [2:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/331glPGnZTrp/en/beth-s-therapy-interview-childhood-abuse-and-threats-to-her-family?t=126) A lot. Okay. And what are you trying to do to your brother? [2:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/331glPGnZTrp/en/beth-s-therapy-interview-childhood-abuse-and-threats-to-her-family?t=133) Kill him. Why do you want your brother to die? [2:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/331glPGnZTrp/en/beth-s-therapy-interview-childhood-abuse-and-threats-to-her-family?t=138) Because I was hurt so bad, and I don't want to be around people. [2:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/331glPGnZTrp/en/beth-s-therapy-interview-childhood-abuse-and-threats-to-her-family?t=145) Okay. Who else would you like to stick pins into?
