He was treated poorly by his father and was very abusive to his family. He was out of control at a young age and nothing was done about it. Mental illness is very scary. The system once again broke here and 3 beautiful girls are dead. Alcoholism and not taking the meds you are prescribed leads to stuff like this. The fault lies in more places other than him. It is very clear he is crazy otherwise he wouldnt have done it. This started long ago and wasnt treated properly by anyone.

In addition, Jessica called the police, and as officers went to the home, she directed them on how to enter. She remained on the line with dispatch for her long drive from MN to River Falls. They directed her to the police station, she did not go to the house and meet officers there.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06446806131365172809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528377935446865958.post-44228962550981446502016-11-03T11:34:52.078-04:002016-11-03T11:34:52.078-04:00You're just as crazy as him.

Because of your mentality, the victim mentality, your family member has never had to be accountable or responsible, "it's always someone else's fault." The medicine's fault, the mental health professionals' fault, the school's fault, the wife's fault, the bird singing on a tree limb's fault. But it's not the fault of the monster that cut his babies throats after they were soooooo happy their daddy had finally come to see them.

He did not love his children with any sort of normal love. He could not have loved his exwife either. He did not care about anyone but himself. Unknown you are trying to justify his unforgivable actions. Perhaps you are a relative or a friend who has a hard time coming to grips with his actions. This is what evil truly is. No man (or woman) with any kind of love in them would be capable of such a heinous act to their own children.azannah11https://www.blogger.com/profile/10226343997158643454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528377935446865958.post-58250437824705492052016-05-16T23:48:26.419-04:002016-05-16T23:48:26.419-04:00Who would do that he raised them and everythingWho would do that he raised them and everythingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528377935446865958.post-6047955161942345852015-09-15T23:19:44.532-04:002015-09-15T23:19:44.532-04:00Aaron Schaffhausen loved Jessica and his children....Aaron Schaffhausen loved Jessica and his children.

This is a society where random groups of teenagers attack and beat strangers "for fun". Where children film themsleves beating other children for entertainment. Increasingly when people feel impotent, out of control, or even bored....they turn to violence. We breed it in our homes, in our very children. My mother was abused by my father, who saw his mother abused by his father. When she finally found the strength to leave, he felt out of control...so he threatened to take my sister and I away from her because this is the only way he knew to hurt her to try and control her. <br /><br />In this case, we ask why this man would do this to his children? In his mind it was more about what could he do to HER....what is the most painful thing he could think of. She divorced him, she would no longer allow him to control her life. He had no power over her, he hated his job and his life and he felt impotent and out of control. He blamed her. He could have run off with her kids, but he knew that he could hurt her the most by making sure she had no chance of seeing them again....so he killed them. Violently, with anger and malice. He is not insane, just evil. Evil when it loses control.LoverOfLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18035001528055273195noreply@blogger.com
