Our local coverage of this event was pitiful. They interviewed some phyciatrist who basically said that the kid didn't receive proper parenting and this is why it happened. The parents didn't give good boundaries, yadda, yadda.
I'm sorry, but you can 'properly' parent many children and it doesn't make a difference. That's like saying if you properly parented a child he/she wouldn't have cancer. :grrr:

I'm not saying any intervention would have helped, but I'm sick and tired of people immediately blaming the parents.
I don't know the details of his earlier life, but from my personal experience...some of this goes back to toddler years. No amount of intervention would have made a difference. You can try, try, and try all you want, but some things are just out of your control.
I wanted to strangle this guy. No, actually, I wanted him to live in my shoes. :smile:
