    The story of Logan Marr and her murder is a sad story that should be taught to all child protective service workers and social workers everywhere so the same mistakes are not repeated. However, when establishing who is at fault for Logan's death in this case I think everyone is partially at fault. Logan's mother could have tried harder to get her life in order and regain custody of Logan but she waited until it was too late.

Sally should have known better on how to treat disruptive children because she had worked in the DHS for many years before adopting Logan.…

    A lot of people want to blame the parents of the offenders, asking “what did you turn your child into?” 36% of serial killers were physically abused, 26% were sexually abused, and 50% were psychologically abused (Mitchell and Aamodt 45). Many people have logically come to the conclusion that just because someone is abused, it does not mean that they will become a serial killer; or even a murderer; which is true. In the general population (people who have never committed murder) only 6% are physically abused, 3% are sexually abused, and 2% are psychologically abused (Mitchell and Aamodt 45). The dramatic difference of abuse frequency between people who are serial killers and people who are not seems evident enough to support that serial killers are created.…

    Finally, it seems that it is after Miss Greenwood stated that she had been rejected from the writing course at Harvard University that she begins to not have the motivation to leave her bed. From the information I’ve gathered it appears as though soon after, she spirals into obsessive suicidal thoughts that lead to her many attempts to take her life. I believe it is the rejection that ultimately triggered my client’s almost successful suicide attempt, at which point lead to her hospitalization and then to her more permanent stay in a mental institution. The rejection of the writing class at Harvard University is in no means an isolated event, there are many contributing factors involved as mentioned above, but it is more of a significant event…
