When I see pictures of folks like Oswald as happy kids who later went bad in life and did untold harm to society, I have to wonder what might have happened had there been some parent, teacher, friend, or mental health therapist who could have put him on a different path. Many troubled kids are a headache to parents and teachers. They don't want any part of them. They get bounced around from school to school and end up doing harm to themselves and others. Not many people go the extra mile to intervene. Oswald bears the direct responsibility for his own actions but many others failed him.
