Dr. Perry’s investigation revealed that Leon’s problems stemmed from his early childhood. His cognitively challenged mother and controlling father simply ignored the boy’s emotions on multiple occasions, thus impeding his emotional awareness, in general. Perry and Szalavitz say the parents would leave Leon crying in his crib for hours. Consequently, the lack of response made his emotional side numb, resulting in a double homicide trial, which is a cruel yet valuable lesson for the reader.
