perpetrator families: opinions?

[username]

I think some people are born evil, some people are made evil, and some people are made evil by accident (i.e., parents have good intentions but somehow screw up along the way or don't adequately address problems not by neglect but because there's no perfect parent handbook out there).

I can feel sympathy for the perpetrator's family provided they did the best they could (and what they did was reasonable by my own set of standards).
