If she'd been raised in a good home she wouldn't have done these things. The more vulnerable someone is, the more suggestible; and the more they've been abused, the more likely it is to happen. Predators use coercive control to entrap people, and it changes how people think. She's guilty of terrible crimes, but as a child, she was horribly treated.
