Description

This life story proves that even the most stable and loving family who never abused, mistreated or deprived their children in any way, are just as capable of producing a delinquent child who causes them nothing but pain as any so called socially disadvantaged family.
It is not always down to the environment we grow up in, some of us are simply born this way.
