A Gandhi-following, peace-loving, free-spirited vegetarian who was adopted at birth has discovered the worst possible thing a son could find out about his father – his dad is Charles Manson.

"It’s like finding out that Adolf Hitler is your father," said Matthew Roberts, a Los Angeles disc jockey.

A curious Roberts, 41, began investigating his poisoned family tree about 12 years ago, when he contacted a social services agency, which located his mother, Terry, in Wisconsin, according to the London Sun.

His reluctant natural mom fed him bits and pieces, like his first and middle name — Lawrence Alexander — withholding his infamous surname until she could summon the courage to tell him the truth.

That isn’t information that most people would want publicized, unless someone else had the info and was going to use it in some way.

I find it amusing that his ingratitude to his adoptive parents was rewarded with information that he would really rather not have found.

Agreed, he didn't have to broadcast this information. Looking at the pictures I don't see a resemblance.

Only thing worse than that would be finding out Obama was your dad.

Only thing worse than THAT is finding out Satan is your dad.

Eh, looks to me that he's hitching his wagon to his father's star to ride it into some form of notoriety. Exchanging letters with Manson? Calling him ‘Charlie’? Yeah, attention whore at 5 o'clock, coming up fast...

Ouch. Sucks to find that out. But not his fault. I’m sure he already feels like %#$*.

Shaking my head. The mother should have just left it at she was raped & father is unknown. I don’t know why this guy would go public with it. Nor do I understand why he would contact Charlie. I would want a DNA done.

If it was a drug-fueled orgy how did she remember if it was rape? I mean, the very word ‘orgy’ tells me that everyone was doing ‘it’.
