Quotes
“In the weeks and months that followed the killings, I was nearly insane with sorrow for the suffering my son had caused, and with grief for the child I had lost.”
“I was widely viewed as a perpetrator or at least an accomplice since I was the person who had raised a ‘monster.'"
“I wasn’t able to stop him hurting himself and others and it’s very hard to live with that.”
