Not that it's an excuse for crime or deviant behavior, but I see what sort of shaky framework these kids' values are created upon, and many are just following the unspoken message of their parents.Kym Brunnerhttp://www.kymbrunner.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907038839233731801.post-90373153336523486632014-03-07T10:15:38.248-06:002014-03-07T10:15:38.248-06:00I learned a lot about Bonnie and Clyde while you w...I learned a lot about Bonnie and Clyde while you were writing this book. And I do like learning more about people and what might have led them to a life of crime. Can't wait to read the finished novel. =)Cherie Colyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13205065477147957455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907038839233731801.post-51859175049353663572014-03-07T05:58:42.270-06:002014-03-07T05:58:42.270-06:00I don't believe anyone is born "evil"...I don't believe anyone is born "evil". Some get to a point of being beyond redemption, or don't even want redemption, or have such a severe mental illness that their reality is incomprehensible to most of us. I spent most of my 20s working with kids who were in bad situations and were already making bad choices, and I often wonder what their lives look like now. Thanks for the peek at Clyde's softer side :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10128802549435853330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907038839233731801.post-58724167872111504862014-03-06T18:18:03.390-06:002014-03-06T18:18:03.390-06:00YAY - me too! :) YAY - me too! :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08877620312074002173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907038839233731801.post-37545038520491989562014-03-06T18:17:41.879-06:002014-03-06T18:17:41.879-06:00Agreed, Rebecca.
