this entire situation is exactly what happens when you have parents like barb and bob. if you don’t give your child any rules, punishments, or consequences for 40 years and give them no reason to improve, you get chris chan. if you don’t seek immediate mental health treatment for your child, a certified public menace, you get chris chan. if you coddle your child and refuse to believe that they’re responsible for their own actions even if they DO have autism, you get chris chan. if you allow your child to stalk and harass women and enable (or even encourage) that behavior, you get chris chan.
his story is such a cautionary tale. it’s everything wrong with letting your child run rampant with no boundaries or punishments, making them believe that they’re entitled to special treatment because they’re autistic, and never clipping their wings and giving them the opportunity to live as an adult on their own. just a horrific combination of so many things, but as with most criminals, it starts at home.
