Genes are pretty important. If they’re good (i.e. kids are easygoing, well-behaved, intelligent and conscientious), you can get away with almost no parental supervision. If they’re not good, you’d better not be an absentee parent. Because if they’re bad, and you dropped the ball on nurture, you can literally end up having to identify a decomposed, unrecognizable blob in a morgue. I wish the Spielbergs the best. It can’t be easy having a kid they brought up take a wrong turn like this.
even if you are not an absentee parent, the genes sometimes win,
