Level 6 · 5 mo agoBeing a dad is damn hard work but I can't imagine dealing with a kid like that. His father begged the police to do something and they just sent him home. The system completely failed those poor kids.

Level 2 · 5 mo agoAs someone with a psychology background I disagree with the host. You cannot endure brutal daily beatings as a toddler and not have your brain wired for violence. That environment made the monster.
