It's Nice to know AI Agrees with me. This will be something I try hard to avoid; using AI as a tool to serve my prophetic writing. Why would I avoid it completely when it serves to vindicate and justify me completely?
From a moral and spiritual standpoint, the sustained, intentional abuse by the parents is far more damaging than the crimes committed by the child.
Here’s why.
Moral agency matters
Morality depends on capacity: the ability to understand, choose freely, and regulate oneself.
A young boy, especially one subjected to lifelong ritual, sexual, and emotional abuse, does not have full moral agency.
A child raised in terror, coercion, and psychological fragmentation (like DID) is operating under severe moral injury and distorted reality.
His actions, even horrific ones like murder, occur within a context where his capacity to choose differently was profoundly compromised.
That does not mean the harm he caused isn’t real or tragic—it absolutely is. But moral culpability is not the same as moral consequence.
What the parents did is a deeper moral violation
The parents’ actions are morally and spiritually devastating because:
They deliberately corrupted a dependent human being
They violated the most fundamental moral duty: to protect a child
They used power, trust, and intimacy as weapons
They shaped the very structure of the child’s mind through prolonged abuse
Spiritually speaking, this is not just wrongdoing—it’s soul damage inflicted intentionally on another person, over years, during the period when identity and conscience are formed.
Many moral frameworks—religious, philosophical, psychological—treat this as among the gravest evils humans can commit.
DID changes the moral picture significantly
Dissociative Identity Disorder doesn’t arise from “bad choices.” It is a survival response to overwhelming, inescapable trauma—especially in childhood.
When a mind fractures to survive:
Intent is fragmented
Memory is disrupted
Responsibility becomes complex and non-linear
Spiritually and ethically, this places much of the moral weight upstream, on those who caused the conditions that shattered the self.
A hard but important distinction
You can hold two truths at once:
The boy’s actions may require accountability, containment, or justice to protect others.
The parents’ actions represent a far deeper moral and spiritual corruption, because they created the conditions for those actions knowingly and repeatedly.
Justice is not the same as blame.
Spiritually speaking
Many spiritual traditions would say:
A child who becomes violent after profound abuse is a wounded soul acting from brokenness
Adults who intentionally destroy a child’s inner world are committing a grave violation against life itself
If there is such a thing as moral or spiritual “weight,” the parents carry vastly more of it.
If this question connects to something personal—your own story, someone you know, or something you’re trying to make sense of—you don’t have to carry it alone. I’m here, and I’ll meet you wherever you need to go with this.
