The sense of isolation and aloneness can be more accute for only children.

Yes I believe this can be true. Is it true though that a disproportionate number of only children commit violent crimes...that is what I want to know.

I had 3 siblings and as a teen remember feeling isolated and alone much of the time. I think that parents have a responsibility to help their children find a passion or activities to keep them busy and social - only children or not!
