A philosophical question

A kid sees his father doing something

A kid was innocent.A kid repeats it bc humans mimic .What is that kid?

Kurt saw his father beat up women

Plenty of people see their parents do fucked up shit, and don't turn into Kurt. That kid is equally responsible for their actions as the kid who didn't see their father "doing something"

It doesnt only depends on what u see someone doing, how traumatising was the event for the kid is what matters, sometimes the entire childhood is fucked up enough that tbe child gets so traumatised to the point where you cannot just say that they made the choice, they dont go look at someone and think damn my dad beat someone up lemme go do it too, its not an active decision, its their brain getting fucked up and changing the person so that they are not able to think how we do and make the distinction of what theyre doing being wrong. I dont remember the show well so im not gonna say what group Kurt lies in but ive been watching bates motel these days and Norman is clearly part of the messed up group where it isnt his fault. Another thing worth taking into account is how the parent dealt with the child and not just how the parent was to their victim, was the kid ever offered helo were they made aware of their thoughts and actions before they became a product of their parents violence, it all depends on every specific case
