I don't think it is that much of a stretch that 12 yr olds would walk home and be responsible for themselves until parents got home from work. It happens in millions of homes every day.

12year old kids need their internet use monitored! Many young kids today are filled with evil, vile thoughts. We live in such sad times IMOO.
Parents need to raise their kids and stop allowing video games to raise them.
IT is not the same thing. I know plenty of 12 yr olds in my neighborhood that go home and take care of siblings as they come home until mom gets home from work. I know lots of 12 yr olds that even though they are left to their own devices for a time have parents that are plugged in and know what is going on.. hence not an epidemic of 12 yr olds stabbing people.
Step father, grandfather. Who knows if it's true, according to Ted the grandfather might have been his own father. In his twisted mind, or it maybe true.
I am not talking about a preteen reading an urban legend. I am talking about preteens, left alone all day to sit with friends and watch free, and free slasher videos and listen to GoreMetal, about killing girls and dismembering them, and then playing GTA4 while smoking some hi potency legal weed.
I don't have the link handy, but I also recall reading that an inordinate amount of serial killers are adopted which would technically apply to Bundy (as well as David Berkowitz).
I came across that little gem after discovering, at the the age of 58, that I myself was adopted in a scenario eerily similar to Ted, (mother was relaly GM, sister was really mother) except without any hint of possible incest in the family.
Maybe just not into old folklore or tales or a horror movie buff.
Also The Preacher in Poltergeist II, Pinhead in Hellraiser, and the TallMan in Phantasm.

If they were absorbed in this culture without supervision they would.
That is the point. Normal preteens that are being monitored and watched, no.. But these two had a whole fantasy life no one knew about. It is why kids should not have the internet at their fingertips. ESPECIALLY at 12-15
That's not the stretch I am talking about... latch key kids happen all the time but I don't think that all of them are smoking weed (my preteen doesn't even know what it is) listen to thrash metal and watchall day long.
I would like to think that my kids are more the rule than the exception - busy with things etc. But in my community there is no hour long commute or more. Maybe this is why I can't see it. I have a 5K drive from work to home.
I haven't heard that these two were left alone all day and smoked weed. (I wouldn't doubt it though).
