As a cabin leader at a summer camp I once had a kid from Devon, AB IIRC who had all sorts of scars from his dad putting out cigarettes on him and who knows what else.
Needless to say, the kid had some big time emotional and social difficulties, and was very challenging for me to deal with. Nice kid but some big problems. Very sad actually, I had to have a lot of chats with him and it would break your heart that this kid was screwed up like that.
He had horrific nightmares and sleeping in the same cabin with him was the worst of all.
I really can't understand what makes some fathers into such monsters.
