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.

Does Sociopathic behavior progress over time?

What if you think you may have some sociopathic tendencies but are not necessarily a full blown sociopath?

Sociopaths have no conscience, and thus do not worry about things like that. You are not a sociopath. That said, there are a number of emotional disorders that have some sociopathic characteristics, and if you are bothered by your feelings or behavior you would do well to speak with a professional about it. Your local mental health society can direct you.
