11. I agree with your thoughts and feelings on this human tragedy.

I have concluded that some people have inborn personality traits that are anti-social and even with the best of parenting and surroundings will have a bad outcome.
We know that some people have physical traits which make life difficult and even unsustainable indefinitely.

Having given birth to and raised four humans who, despite same parents and environment, obviously received some slightly different genetic material in the dice-toss that is human conception, I believe strongly the same concept holds in personality traits.
It is one of the mysteries and problems of our human condition.

You are also correct that it is up to society - the majority being relatively healthy psychologically- to recognize the errant individual and limit the power given.

Thanks for your insight.
