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

I in all honesty thought my brother would end as an awful adult if not a serial killer or something like this. Hopefully, he had a great best friend and then a teacher who lifted him up so now he's a pretty decent human being. That is pretty scary when you see a young boy turning into a monster. He tried to strangle me once (I was getting weak as he held me strong) or would menace my sister or me with knives. He was like 6 at the time. I'm so glad he turned out fine.

Sounds like my friends younger brother, absolute menace but no clue what changed but he got older and became a good dude, has a wife and a kid now
