Do psychopaths lack empathy even towards children?

Do psychopaths lack empathy towards children even if it was their own children?

Or would they have some empathy in them or at least a feeling of wrongness if the thought of killing them ever came to mind?

Psychopaths lack empathy, remorse, consciousness, and morality by definition.

However, psychopaths can learn to distinguish right from wrong if they are willing to, and they can apply that to everyday life.

Most psychopaths do not murder anyone. Of course, virtually all serial murderers and mass shooters are psychopaths, but not all psychopaths are serial murderers and mass shooters.
