Le psychologue [...] a évalué la mère en 1998 à l'occasion de l'étude du dossier des trois enfants victimes de mauvais traitements physiques de la part de cette dernière. Son évaluation lui a permis de constater chez la mère les caractéristiques d'une personne affectée de psychopathie, soit une absence de réaction émotionnelle profonde, une incapacité à tirer profit des expériences vécues, une difficulté à tenir compte des besoins d'autrui et un jugement déficitaire. [Il] recommanda donc le placement à long terme des trois enfants victimes de sévices. 1, record 1, French, - enfant%20victime%20de%20s%C3%A9vices
