Low Lifes

I took no pleasure in reading the story about murderers Frank and Diane Metzger's son, ripping off his elderly grandparents for $75,000, their life savings. They took him in when he was 3 months old and raised him as their own.
It can't be easy growing up knowing your parents are a couple of low-life murderers but still... Leaving destitute the people who raised you is pretty low thing to do. He deserves whatever punishment he gets.
At the time of their crimes, much was made about Frank and Diane's membership in Mensa, the genius society.
Doesn't look like their son inherited their brains, even if he did inherit their morals.

  1. You are quite correct in your assumptions.. The boy was given the best up bringing that he could of had. Sorry thing is the grandparents failure to "bring up" their own child is what my wife likes to call "A product of their environment".

    Cheers.
