Should It Be Legal to Put Dangerous Children Down?

This is not what I really believe, this was a hypothetical question that I posed in this thread about population control: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/23404560/fpart/1/vc/1
My question is, what would people think about putting down horrible or violent children who are already showing psychopathic tendencies from a young age?
I'll give you 2 examples.
There was an American adoptive mother who made the news, because she flew to Russia to adopt a 7 year old boy. Shortly after adopting him and returning with him to her home country, she sent him back on a plane to Russia, alone, with a note explaining why she didn't want him anymore. She said that he was severely mentally ill, and that the adoption agency lied and grossly misrepresented his psychological well-being.
According to her, he would constantly throw tantrums and would kick, hit, and spit at her and her mother. And he would make drawings of their house burning on fire, and constantly threaten to burn their house down with everybody inside while they were sleeping. He was like a 7 year old tyrant, clearly in the process of becoming a future criminal. People in the house were afraid of him.
She was very chastised in the media and by the public for sending him back alone, but honestly, I don't blame her. Russian males are fucking insane! I would have given him back up for adoption if he was like that too. I'm sure her decision to do so wasn't taken lightly, especially from somebody who was charitable enough to spend thousands of dollars for an overseas adoption.
Then here's another example. My friend was foster caring several infants and toddlers that were in need of a temporary home. There was one time where she refused to care for a 3 year old, because this 3 year old was deranged. Apparently his parents were tweakers, meth addicts, and he had lived his whole life in a cage, very emaciated and covered in feces when authorities found him. He had virtually no social interaction at all for his entire life.
All the social workers warned my friend that she must not have any pets or other babies in the home. Apparently he had been kicked out of every single foster care home he had ever been in, because he would actually stab the eyes of pets in the home, rip out their eyes, and try to kill them. Same goes for infants. At 3 years old, he was already exhibiting extremely high levels of aggression and psychopathy, and parents were naturally afraid of him.
In cases like this, I mean, what other choice do you really have except to put them down? They're abandoned children, nobody loves them, they're already exhibiting hostile and violent criminal behavior, do they really have a chance?
EDIT: There is a poll a couple of posts down, please answer.

Can you not display psychopathic tendencies though? I'm sure symptoms can start well before 18.
I'd send an adopted kid back with behavior like that as quick as possible.
Don't know if putting them down is the best option. Why would you put down a 3 year old? What the child need is intense care, not just any person that doesn't know how to handle a child that hasn't had contact with the world (what's the name of this term??).

Can't help but answer "no". I don't think anyone is completely irredeemable at age 7, and call me old fashioned but I have ideological qualms with killing people.
I definitely understand where you're coming from, though.

If we would have known how you turned out, I'd say yes. It should be legal. Starting with you.

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

this might be one of those progressive eye for an eye situations...
in all seriousness though some people are just conduits for unwellness and harm to others.
there should be a moral test to help cull people who are completely self centered and bad for the greater group.

No, but we should sterilize a lot of people who arent capable of being fit parents. Otherwise the most dysfunctional homeless drug addicts end up having 7-8 kids and drowning the social system in misery ... each of those kids then has 4-5 themselves.
Reproduction has to be something we earn and qualify for , not something anyone can randomly and mindlessly do if they cant be responsible for the consequences.
Psychopathic kids should be studied and kept under supervision.

, maybe in canuckistan, and the new DSM-5/ICD does not use the word psychopath as a diagnosis btw.
- Antisocial personality disorder
- Dissocial personality disorder
These are real diagnoses that can be applied at any age, and no... there is no age restriction to having these.
Back to OP: As far as killing them? No, I believe they should receive treatment for as long as necessary/incarceration in a mental institution.
Ideally, we shouldn't be offing children for having mental disorders.

.
Psychopathic children can be identified by the of 5 and some symptoms can start showing up as early as 3 years old.

Just send them all to detention centres in Europe.
They'll be glad to take them.

Because of State and Federal cutbacks, something like 80% of the mentally ill are housed in prisons, not hospitals.

How about instead we put irresponsible parents down
