Some people are born evil, but others, because they were subjected to untold violence, become so.
I think that many Americans have little understanding as to what evil many within the system experience. For many, they experience hell on earth as 12 year old kids and these have no ability to defend themselves.
The system can certainly turn a child into a monster.
But for most monsters, there is no turning back. Just because it is the result of “the system” doesn’t make the monster any less monstrous.
There is no fairness here and no good fix.
Prevention is the only good answer. Kids need two parents. Sounds like this is another case of no father in the home.
