Jeremy may well have been imature, he hadn't exactly had to get his hands dirty (well actually he had come to think of it) but he was priviledged. He was very good looking ( pissed loads of people off I should think, it's amazing how hated a good looking person can be). He may have craved attention, adopted children have problems of rejection and insecurity even when growing up in a secure family. None of these things in any way make someone a killer. Always there is this thing, it was easier for Jeremy to kill his adopted parents, who he had never bonded with than a natural child. This is so unfair and completely missing the point that the majority of adopted children love their adopted parents no matter what their attitude to their natural parents is. Jeremy, of course wasn't interested in meeting his natural parents, this is quoted as tho there is a lack in Jeremy. Some adopted children need to meet their natural mother and some do not. I have two adopted children with two different attitudes. More to do with their genes than anything. They both love me their mum to exactly the same degree.
maggie there are some things about jeremy that need noting
He did not get involved in fights every night
He was no idle slob eating pizza watching video rentals
He worked long hours on the farm
He did not steal motorbikes every week riding around Essex
He did not dress like a tramp
He had a job and paid his way not begging to the dole office.
