    Found Deceased CA - Madyson Middleton, 8, Santa Cruz, 26 July 2015 - #2 *Arrest*

    I did not call her feisty just based on her seeing her son getting arrested. I said she seemed feisty but that was based on her online profile, her past run ins with the law and the type of problems they were. And maybe I'm wrong in my judgement. Hence I said she "seems". To me. And by the way...

    I believe that particular clip (the last IG post he created) was not his actual playing. Looked to me like he was mimicking the piano playing but not really playing. Sounded like a recording too. But there are clips of him actually playing piano, on his family's FB accounts. I won't link to...

    Definitely I feel for the mother. I believe all she had done was she tried her best to raise the child. She was not perfect but who is? Both families (of the victim and the perp) are victims here. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

    It sounds like such a great community to live in, despite the problems people have mentioned like the homelessness or drugs nearby. We're an artsy family and not at all rich although we are getting by okay. I wouldn't mind living there I think! Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

    Sorry I don't mean to offend :-O I think there are many factors. We're quite musical in this family. My husband used to play in gigging bands for money without ever having formal lessons. He was completely self taught and a really decent musician. And me... Well I guess I have a bit of talent...

    Yes he had some talent. And I'm by no means an expert. I just got up to a high grade through years of being pushed by pushy parents... But I know if a teacher is worth his/her salt, and if the student practices daily, and possesses some talent, then the level at which Adrian plays could be...

    I don't know about piano lessons actually. I thought he sounded self taught and a bit "mechanical"... He just didn't sound to me like he had lessons. Or maybe he had just only started having them a year or two ago. I will add that I was a trained pianist, all my siblings took lessons as kids...

    His mum seems like a feisty woman. Also being a single working mother with lower salaried jobs would mean long working hours, stress of providing for the family, tiredness, and she may not have had enough time nor inclination to connect with her son. I wonder if he was looked after by someone...

    Thing is you always get friends or acquaintances of murderers coming out after the deed was done saying they always knew he was a wrong 'un and things to that effect, but I always reserve a bit of scepticism for those accounts. More likely than not, no one ever saw that coming, because the...

    Found Deceased CA - Madyson Middleton, 8, Santa Cruz, 26 July 2015 - #2 *Arrest*

    I am inclined to think he killed the girl very rashly to be honest. The murder doesn't seem planned at all because if it was, it was very poorly executed. He may have been "laying in wait" for her as in he knew she always came out to play at a certain time during the week, and so he waited there...

    It was definitely posted on Sunday. I remember posting about this but the post got deleted due to policies of this forum. Problem is we don't know if it was before or after the murder. I'm not sure if the police would be able to find out the exact time of posting. Sent from my Nexus 4 using...

    The environment plays a part, for sure, but abuse or neglect in childhood is just as bad as spoiling a child. Many child killers of the past had bad childhoods - grew up in rough estates, were treated badly, etc. James Bulger's killers, Mary Bell, etc. These days it does appear that quite a few...

    This article talks about the difference between psychopath and sociopath. Similar outcomes, different origins apparently. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/wicked-deeds/201401/how-tell-sociopath-psychopath Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

    Thanks :) I don't know if I'm really wonderful but I distinctly remember feeling a little like a failure when I realised what my daughter had done despite me having taught her not to do exactly that. I can only hope I did the right thing. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

    I learned a lesson a while ago that it is not a good idea to allow my teen "private" access to any SM account. Long story short. I caught her breaking all the internet safety rules which school and I have been drumming into her head for a few years and it shocked me just how much she revealed of...

    I've been thinking : do psychopaths get depressed? Because when I read through his IG posts, he does appear like he could be depressed. The general mood of everything he posts is that it is a bit downbeat. There is no excitement. It all feels a bit flat and placid. I am not sure if I am...

    I'm wondering if he was in fact suicidal, but he decided to act out his fantasies before he goes and off himself, so he did what he did. He might try to kill himself in jail later, or get killed by someone in jail, but either way perhaps he knew he would die after this... Or at least he wanted...

    First thing I thought was his mother would probably be thinking of moving out of that place now, being so ashamed of what her son had done. It's such a sorry mess isn't it? He must have hidden his feelings from her for a long long time because he knew they were not socially acceptable. Perhaps...
