Shortly thereafter, he began a string of murders that ended with his arrest in 1991 (Wikipedia, June 2009. Jeffrey Dahmer: Early Life). As early as 1989, when Jeff was facing sentencing for child molestation, Lionel felt that his "son would never be more than he seemed to be — a liar, an alcoholic, a thief, an exhibitionist, a molester of children.

BSHS/335 Case Study: Approaches to Ethical Dilemmas Case 14 titled “A Minor Confidentiality Issue” is about a six-year-old male child named Tavion Robinson who was taken to Methodist Hospital for a broken arm and abrasions. Tavion’s father explained to the nurse that Tavion had fallen from playground equipment and that is how he got hurt. The father’s behavior in not wanting the child to be left alone with the medical team that was on at the time of his visit started making the nursing staff question if the injury actually happened the way it did, as well as the abrasions being to clean for happening by falling off playground equipment.

In the book, Tom Klebold said that his son, Dylan, suffered from being an outcast at his school, and that might have led to his participation in the massacre. The book also describes an arrest of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold that took place the year before they went on a rampage.
