I'd concur with this. In my experience working with troubled youth, it is almost inevitably the case that a troubled kid is the result of f-ed up parenting. There are some exceptions to this, but not a lot.Personally, as tragic as each of these stories have been, I'd like to know the parents' track record on consistently disciplining their kids while growing up. Did they actually stick to their guns or did they let their kids walk all over them while growing up? If the parents let their kids walk all over them and let them get whatever they want, and then now said "no you can't," is it any wonder the kids go off? They've gotten their way the entire life.
Sure, some people end up being complete whackos no matter the environment they grew up in, but often case when something like this happens there's an element of parental blame as well.
Have you read the book? (I haven't) I'm hoping that he has some reliable numbers to back those assertions up. My first intuition is that he is primarily looking to sell books and is just basing this on his personal experience, because my personal experience suggests that he is full of crap.Dr. Samenow's three decades of working with criminals have reaffirmed his argument that factors such as poverty, divorce, and media violence do not cause criminality.
If you kill someone because they won't let you go on Myspace, you have serious problems that go far beyond parental blame. If it turned out there was abuse/negligence on the parent's part for most of the kid's life, I could see placing some of the blame on the parents.
