这里有篇Elliot Rodger的文章,我觉得他父母的教育方式还是有问题的。
我记得曾在家园网上看到过有人说上私校的好处是让孩子结交权贵“融入上流社会”...
我真心希望,for their children's sake, 这些人也是权贵...
Lichin Rodger, Elliot Rodger’s mother, is frequently discussed in the long manifesto that the 22-year-old left behind.
Elliot killed six people and wounded multiple others during a stabbing and shooting spree near the University of California Santa Barbara on May 23.
The manifesto is about Elliot’s life.
Elliot expresses a mostly favorable view of his mother. He remarks at one point how he enjoyed having no limits when at her home, which enabled him to get into playing World of Warcraft without worry of curtailment of how long he played. He originally got into video games through playing with his father, Peter Rodger.
Lichin moved to the United Kingdom and became a nurse on several film sets, becoming, as Elliot put it, “friends with very important individuals in the film industry such as George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.” She even briefly dated Lucas, and maintained a friendship with the legendary director.
That friendship begat things such as invitations to the red carpet premiere of Star Wars Episode 1, Elliot recalled.
“I had and always will be a huge Star Wars fan,” Elliot recalled. “I had already seen the original trilogy many times, and I considered myself very lucky to be able to go to the premiere of the new Star Wars movie.” He even met some of the actors afterwards.
Elliot also recalls his mother taking him over to friend’s homes, and to parks and other events, such as a festival where concerts were held and people barbecued.
Elliot was greatly affected by the divorce of Lichin and Peter, often describing the differences between the households. “Despite father’s move to a much larger house and all the benefits that came with it, I still preferred my time at mother’s house, just because of her gentle and fun attitude and the energy of her household,” he wrote. “My mother indulged in me more than my father and Soumaya [stepmother] ever did. She knew what I liked and what I didn’t like, and she would go out of her way to make my life pleasant and enjoyable.”
In more recent times, Elliot spent his 21st birthday with Lichin and his sister Georgia. He described his anger at being a 21 year old “kiss-less virgin” but ultimately ended up having a good time with his family.
Elliot also took a vacation in 2013 with his mother and sister, and discussed what his future held with her. At a separate time prior, he had called her and his father and described to them how he felt like a failure, as he was fixated on the fact that he didn’t have a girlfriend nor “no real prospects.” She also helped take care of him after he was beaten one night.
Elliot did get upset with his mother at times. For instance, he says that he will always resent her for refusing to marry “a wealthy man” and move into a mansion. “If not for her sake, she should have done it for mine,” he said. “Joining a family of great wealth would have truly saved my life. I would have a high enough status to attract beautiful girlfriends and live above all of my enemies. All of my horrific troubles would have been eased instantly. It is very selfish of my mother to not consider this.”
Meanwhile, Peter and Chin issued a statement on Thursday through friend Simon Astaire.
The parents say in a statement that they are “crying out in pain for the victims and their families,” reported the Associated Press.
The parents say it is now their responsibility to do everything they can to help prevent such a tragedy from happening to any other family and to identify and deal with the mental issues that led to their son’s actions.
