Given the fact that the parents don't seem abusive at all and their other two kids seem to turn out normal, a brain defect would be a much better explanation.

- PaperclipTaken 14y agoThe article is far from complete enough to make a judgement of the parents, but it's possible to be a bad/impatient/non-understanding/etc. parent while still being loving, trying to do the best, and not being abusive in any sense that would be considered by a court.
- Tichy 14y agoThey never show any affection, though. All they want is kids that function well - according to their ideas, not the ideas of the kids.
- aptwebapps 14y agoIf the children were identical in all other aspects, maybe, but they seldom are and as mentioned in the article the first problems arose with the birth of the second child. I'm not saying it's not a brain defect, but the above is far from conclusive.
