One of the Columbine killer’s father (I think Harris),still doesn’t admit his son had a problem!!
For people interested in teenage psychos, the book “Columbine” is brilliant.
Interesting. I guess there’s probably a better than average chance that such a parent’s a bit off, as well as a likely tendency toward denial.
When my children werte small we lived next to some people who had a 12 year old psycho
she would stand on their stairs andf scream for long intervals and was sneaky and dangerous...
she was bigger than I was and I tried to avoid annoying her...
One afternoon I popped my head out the front door and told my 4 year old daughter not to go anywhere I was about to call her into dinner..
I noticed that the 12 yo was lurking at the corner of our house...
I dished out their plates, told my older son who was doing his homework it was time to eat and went back outside...
No daughter
No HEAVY tricycle..
I went to the neighbors all around to find her and looked everyuwher except the direction of the train tracks 1/4 mile away with houses blocking the view..
Then I decided to walk that way...
although it didnt make sense...
How could she have taken that heavy tricycle with her ???
the 12 yo was coming from that direction and I asked her Have you seen ???
No she simpered in her phony innocent way...
She was usually devious so i ignored the attitude at that time and figured she would tell me if she had seen the child...
I went home and camme out now and again to call my daughter...
One time the 12 yo old was hiding around the corner of my house again andf mocked me and called out in a strange voice and her younger girl friend was giggling...
I was puzzled but ignored the cheek as her usual way of acting out...
finally I could not just stay home waiting I dertermined to check the train tracks and then call the police...
I found my little daughter sitting there ON THE TRACKS with her tricycle behind her...
She was crying and saif that the 12 yo had heard me say not to go anywehere and had come to her as soon as I went back inside and took her by the hand picked up that heavy tricycle and taken them to the tracks ...
she told my daughter that I wanted her to sit there and if she moved I would spank her...
at any moment a train could have come along and killed my little girl...
and nobody would have known how or why she had been there...
dont tell me children cannot be psychopaths...
