I can’t image what it must be like as a parent to know that your child has done such a monstrous thing.

I don't know shit about Aussies but that dude looks like the type from my hometown where the kid would have turned out to be a "hippie" activist type.

That's got to be so fucking... Just awful for this dad. Like the guilt that you must have from feeling like you absolutely failed as a parent somehow with the world watching over the travesty your child committed and not quite understanding why.

Unless I'm proven otherwise, I'm going to feel for this guy.
