Message:: [QUOTE="Kasia, post: 3241259, member: 31533"]Well, I would not advise to take parenting advice from any of the majority of the people who were part of the Manson family. But Dianne Lake is likely the only one you might want to. Not because she made any fantastic decisions as a kid, joining him at age 14, but she was 'lucky' in that after her arrest and all the things going on with the investigation, she was taken in by a law enforcement officer and he and his family helped her get medical help and finish h.s. and be prepared to go to college and be a productive member of society. I have to say that sometimes this happens to the benefit of the person, though most of Charlie's girls would not fit this mold or be redeemable. I tend to think that her being able to turn her life around in a good way might be evidence that if she had a better childhood with parents who did not give her permission to go off with Charlie, etc. and a stable home, that she would not have done it on her own.
