Well I dont have nay children and I hope I never have to be in that position.I am thinking of teh emotional turmoil that you the parent of the killer would be in knowing that your child could do something like that,it must make you look at them in a different light wondering how someone you raised could have done something like that .In addition you must be wondering where you went wrong.Another really emotionally distressing aspect of this would be that your child now faces life in prison which means all his dreams and hopes would be dashed adn bringing with that extra finacial spending for lawyers and visits to prison .Now on the flip side of that would be how you would feel knowing that ethere is a mother out ther without a child and it was becasue of teh action of your son .This situation is so emotionally complex ,I would want no part and lot with it on neither side of the coin

Thank you for understanding. I didnt raise that one. Her father came and stole her from me while i was not home. I was 18 and stupid. I didnt know what to do to get her back. I sure didnt have $$$ for a lawyers. He never let me see her either. So from the age of 1yr till 17yrs i didnt see her at all. When she turned 17yrs she came looking for me. She was all messed up by then. She made demonic drawings. She was calling herself an artist. As well as a witch. Yes, it was a great turmoil going through everything about her. I live too far away to visit her now. We just write sometimes. When she was in jail i sent a card to the vicim's parents. I couldnt think of what to say to express my sarrow. All i could say was..."Words cant express how sorry iam for your loss." It was turmoil thinking about if it was something genetic or if it was something happen to her when she was growing up that cause her to do this. My mind kept going back to when she was a tiny infant and i was feeding her in the middle of the nite. Its just not a good feeling knowing that your child took someone's life.

poor girl. i feel for you. i had to read the whole thing here to figure out what you was asking for. i do NOT believe its how they are raised either way. it may have a little bit to do with it but not the whole reason. Ted Bundy killed several women. he said right up to his execution that he had a good up bringing. he wasnt adopted. he had a great childhood. he even went to college for a law degree. so, no i dont believe its the parents fault. many people are raised the same and still turn out differently. why dont you ask your daughter WHY? maybe she will explain.

I have asked her. I dont think she even knows. She gave me several different reasons. At different times of coarse. Kind of like she was searching for a resaon herself. She is really messed up. One thing i told her was that at times her friend (victim) reminded me of her father. She agreed. She had felt the same. She hates her father for some odd reason. A reason she also can not explain. But that may have played a part in it. She will not get out till she is 65yrs old. She will not be able to funtion in society after all those years being locked up. Maybe she should never be released. She wasnt functioning properly before anyway.
