Re: Speechless....
l agree with you Janet, but if we're to feel some sympathy for the boy we need to know his parents background too. Very often the abusers were themselves abused, lt's a horrible circle.
l am in no way saying however, that all abused children will or do go onto abuse themselves. Most abusers do claim to have been abused themselves though.
l hope re: the other similar threads that have run here recently, people might consider all the options, and not be so quick to want to kill them. After all this boy committed a horrible sex crime yet the over whelming feeling so far is sympathetic. ls it so very different?
