Of course all victims of child abuse don't go on to be abusers themselves.
Though with her start in life you can begin to understand why she became so evil.
I firmly believe no one is born bad.
Circumstances allow evil to fester, and then grow.

Surely some are born evil? That there is something in their genes that will make them become evil. You state that all victims of abuse don't go on to be abusers themselves but the reason why could be genetic.
However as far as I understand all psychopaths have experienced some serious dysfunction in childhood, some form of prolonged mental emotional torment. Ed Gein (the character who inspired "Texas Chainsaw Masacre" and "Psycho" was regularly mentally humiliated by his religous fanatic mother who used to read the bible to him and call him a filthy sinner and so on) I think recently a report came out that children under the age of 6 should not be exposed to traumatic information as their brains can't handle it!
This drama was quite good, except the start when Fred (who hung himself in his cell - well done fred!) described cutting up his daughter they way he said it, maybe that is how he said it in reality, just seemed ridiculous they way he spoke like it was so matter of fact.
