"Love" isn't the magical cure all. Discipline, moral guidance, respect, learning to socialize, stable family life, all this plays a part.
A crack head can love, a whore can love, a murderer can love, a crook can love, but they aren't good role models.

To this kid, probably because his non- existant family life sucks, figured this baby was a source of all his woes. There is no doubt plenty of blame to toss at his morally bankrupt parents, and the kind of lifestyle they lead.

Your definition of "love" is completely false. Apparently you believe that "love" is an emotional state. It is not. Love is wanting and doing what is GOOD for another person-- i.e., one disciplines children not because one is angry, but because it is GOOD for them. A good parent does not give children stuff just to make them happy, but only gives what is GOOD for them. Love ALWAYS requires both thought and action, and love can be given in the complete absence of tender feelings (I still love my husband even when I'm annoyed, or even angry at him.) Love is a choice, an effort of will, and the highest of all ethical norms.
