This was also in part due to Nancy enabling Daniel's negative behaviors. In his childhood, an event occurred where a 3-year-old Daniel painted on Nancy's walls, and instead of facing repercussions, Nancy rewarded him with candy. | ||
However, much like Elisabeth, Daniel was said to have hit his grandmother on multiple occasions. Even when Nancy was diagnosed with cancer, Daniel continued to beat her. When she eventually died, Daniel opted to go to the Special Olympics instead of watching her on her deathbed. Daniel never attended his grandmothers funeral. | |||
