This strikes me as a desperate comment made to the public/the authorities, because he can't believe his son went ahead and probably wasted his life like this (and to somehow prevent that outcome). It's entirely possible he talked very differently behind closed doors and is just as upset about the crime as the public instead of being all "you did no wrong" etc. |
It's possible, but I've been working with kids for the last past three years and some parents are well and truly clueless of how to raise a child and/or incapable of seeing that their offspring can do certain things. Maybe you're right, one can only hope.
