At the end of the day, the Doctor is responsible.

Most likely, He was busy with his life and left his warehouse full of kids to “others” to tend to which “perhaps” led to no one noticing any “sign” about this kid being a tad deficient in his cerebellum, which we now CLEARLY know.

No doubt the Doctor meant well but “9” kids of his own plus the adopted kids tells a thoughtful,reflective, intelligent person that the good docs character IS “a little” flawed. I mean an OB-GYN Doc is a busy, busy man!
How could he possibly allocate time to each kid, to say nothing of love.

Now that one of his flock has killed another human being, and the taxpayer gets stuck with the bill (millions) for his raging libido and recklessness, will he accept full responsibility in terms of dollars and words. I doubt it.

Bottom line: I can’t believe this kid did not in some way show signs of danger towards the other kids. Perhaps an investigation will uncover such information. Perhaps not. But, if their is some history re the kid being a danger to others, then the good doc may have an issue with a local prosecutor. I believe in adoption but 13 -15 kids and a full time OB-GYN doc is rather like 2 + 2 = 5......

I fear you may be right, but the bottom line is we don't know. The boy may have been receiving treatment.

Interesting you say the cerebellum - do you have a link? I know there are studies that people who suffer early trauma have smaller hippocampi. RAD is just starting to be examined as both a medical and psychological disorder. Healing is possible, but it takes a lot of work and intensive parenting.

The well intentioned Doctor collected kids like Angelina Jolie, and she has a team of maids and nannies, so there is someone there watching, making sure the little darlings don’t get too rough on the other. I see no mention of a Mother figure, Did she see something and chose not to say anything? One of those ‘wait till your Father gets home!”.
