This guy started with Daniel when he was 12/13. The crime clearly indicates Daniel had a huge amount of anger as is normal in abuse cases. He stabbed him over 50 times. Abuse fuels such things. What probably changed things was when Daniel acquired a girlfriend. I would be surprised if Daniel’s parents knew something was not right but tolerated it. I watch his mother and she just didn’t talk like a Mom who had a son who was on trial for murder and who had been molested for years. The Dad appeared more concerned for his son but I can’t help wonder why you would ever let kids run around with an older guy like that.
Well... you can't cure stupid. I'm over 50 and even back in the day where things were much safer...my parents would not allow any lone adult... male or female....relative or not...to take us kids anywhere. (with the exception of my grandmother)
The adults knew not to ask.
