Life is Law, Law is life, I am expanding this blog to be as much about the nature of the motivations that cause people to act as they do as well as law and actually as well as all that interests me.

Its a rare thing to find the moment in a person's life when they change from innocent child to damaged adult but this child's parents have done just that and then have the heartless stupidity to broadcast it on YouTube. I don't need to relate this act of extreme child abuse to my practice of law but to my mind it confirms my deep belief that the secret to understanding the bad acts of people it to be found in their childhood and that once you grasp the fact that the bad act is really a defense mechanism to ward off some psychic injury in childhood do you realize that those bad acts are in fact instinctual responses to pain. As hard as it my be to accept that the worst bully in school is really the one with the most pain it must be understood that love is really all you need.
It doesn't matter if your mama or you papa was rich or poor, sacred or profane, biological or not, what matters is how much and in what way they were willing to love you. This beautiful young child has been betrayed, mocked, alienated and has had his id and ego crushed by those people most close to him.

If you laugh at this than examine yourself.

ps. They did get him the xbox but were "playing with him" because he sneaked around and found the present before Xmas
