Didn't they say his mother left and took his brother but not him... She probably left with his brother because they knew that Jeffrey was messed up. And I think Jeffrey's father has everything to do with this, I think Jeffrey witnessed some things done by his father.. And that's all I'm going to say.

They're making an attempt to dissociate the psychopath, Jeffrey, from the person they believe they knew. As she said, "we know him as Jeff." Years ago, the original interviews were played quite often. I remember thinking that correcting his name was odd. Especially during the timing of questions on certain interviews. It seemed it was their way of suggesting they only know him as Jeff, the sweet boy we raised and loved as opposed to Jeffrey this horrific psychopath. Maybe the dissociation in their minds aleiveate accepting some level of responsibility that they missed the development of a serial killer.

This is important even though Jeff's parents were not the best parents I don't think they would ever envision they would raise the most infamous serial killer on earth. Parents need to care about this they need to care about these things if they see any kind of behavior like this it needs to be corrected and in the right way. You're never too young for therapy

Just because someone is a sociopath or psychopath. Doesn’t mean they are all murders. There is sick minded people you walk past through stores, mall, ect .

It won’t always avoid coming across people like this but watching porn non stop, or having sites with gore on it . Has played with alot of these peoples minds now

I don't feel bad for Lionel. He loves to place all the blame of Jeffery being messed up on his ex-wife Joyce, he wrote a whole Book about it, but in Reality, he completely added to the mix too. He was neglectful, an unemotional robot, and was too busy being off with his New girlfriend who then became his wife (the lady next to him here), to Notice how messed up Jeffrey was. The warning signs were there ALL ALONG. His weird behaviour... drinking before school... coming home from school drunk... yelling and hitting trees in the garden... The public nudity... Molesting a child... A prison sentence... Being discharged from the military... Stealing a mannequin and sleeping with it... The locked box of the head which Jeffrey refused to open... Lionel making him move out from the grandmother's house... The signs were there. Fact. Lionel just wasn't emotionally EQUIPPED to be able to Deal with them. And because of that, he brushed everything under the carpet. Which had Devastating consequences for many people. But in hindsight, it's very easy to play the "Oh my ex-wife was sooo messed up" card, write a book on it and do loads of interviews where you look very sad, and try to absolve yourself of all responsibility of it.

Holy!!!! This guy's voice is IDENTICAL to the voice of the actor on the Netflix series of Dahmer.

I understand wanting to speak kindly of this gentleman, but a hero? Come on. You know who actually was a hero? Tracy Edwards and the other survivors, Glenda Cleveland, the jurors, the prosecutor who helped put Dahmer away. Lionel Dahmer, unlike Jeff Dahmer's mother, wanted his son's brain cremated instead of letting scientists study it. That research could have helped prevent people like him from ever doing what he did. Scientists may have been able to find a biological factor (or rule it out) and, who knows, maybe even figure out some kind of treatment. He and his ex-wife made excuse after excuse for their son and it wasn't until it was too late that it finally clicked. Lionel Dahmer is just a grieving father here, not at fault for his son's actions. But a hero? Sorry bud.

If you cannot control yourself by sheer force of will, it is your onus to find someone or something that will stop you.

Dahmer is evil because he is fully accountable for the series of choices to give in to his predatory urges.

The spooky music is a little unnecessary lol

One of the thoughts I had throughout this interview was how hard it must have been for his parents. It's almost like the polar opposite of being able to brag about your son being an esteemed poet laureate or author, a heart surgeon of the highest order (like being on Dr. DeBakey's surgical team), or an astronaut. You know it had to be hard for them, having to relive it on national television.

OMG. The actor of Lionel in Dahmer sounds exactly the same.

This is so sad. You know there are so many killers parents who wonder why their kids turned out the way they did or if their parenting had something to do with it or them wondering where they went wrong to end up having a killer child and honestly, in most cases it was to no fault of the parents at all. But now that the killer is well known the family also becomes demonized by association, being related to the killer and that's just wrong as well. They are not their children. Their siblings are not them. The families shouldn't be looked down upon for something that they were not involved in and many times had no clue about.
