How do you evaluate a child's sociopathic behavior?
Ask the psychiatrist treating the child. If the child hasn't seen a psychiatrist then take him/her to a really good child psychiatrist; don't diagnose or label a child as a sociopath on the basis of what you read on this and other sites. With children, it's easy to mistake bad behaviour for sociopathic behaviour.
Is a sociopathic personalty inherited?
It can be. For example; if a child is raised by a sociopath, the sociopath raising them might be cold and distant(because they could have trouble making an attachment with the child.) The sociopath raising them can also be highly abusive. As a result, the child could grow up to have a sociopathic personality, because thats all they know.
Does Sociopathic behavior progress over time?

How can you help children with sociopathic parents?
It depends on the age of the child and your relationship to this child. Another family member would be lax if they did not attemt to help a child in need.
