Anders Behring Breivik's Mother 'Sexualised' Him When He Was Four

THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH: Norway killer Anders Behring Breivik's mother "sexualised" her four-year-old son, smacked him, and often told him she wished he were dead, child psychologist reports printed in a new book on the Norwegian killer have revealed.

The reports also show that when Breivik was just four-years-old, his mother became preoccupied with fears that her son would violently assault someone.

"She saw him as an adult violent person, even though he was only a small boy," said Aage Borchgrevink, author of A Norwegian tragedy. "She was afraid that he would assault people."

The psychologist reports show that Wenche Behring already felt her son was "aggressive, hyperactive and clingy," when she was breastfeeding him.

By the time he was four years old, she "sexualised" the young Breivik, hit him, and frequently told him that she wished that he were dead.

"The mother and Anders sleep in the same bed at night with very close bodily contact," psychologists from Norway's centre for child and youth psychiatry (SSBU), reported after Breivik and his mother spent several weeks there in 1983. The family's neighbours at the time became worried about her inappropriate sexual behaviour. » | Richard Orange in Malmö | Sunday, October 07, 2012
