Reply to "What do you want to know about Adam Lanza, his family and his community?"

I recently listened to a lecture on violence, considering the Sandy Hook incident. Jeffrey Dahmer was mentioned and it was stated that he came from a loving home. I was so shocked that I took some time to read about Dahmer and put a skeletal childhood history together. I was sad to find that the media did in fact promote that Dahmer had a loving first 6 years. Ironically, the main person who spoke about Dahmer was his father who was primarily an absent parent. This idea of a "bad seed" is worrisome, because it turns a blind eye to the huge social problem and early abuse and neglect.

Here is the article I wrote in response: http://stopspanking.org/2012/12/29/jeffrey-dahmer-was-once-a-sad-li...
