| | "every baby starts
life as a little savage. he is completely selfish and self-centered.
he wants what he wants when he wants it: his bottle, his mother's attention, his
playmate's toy, his uncle's watch. deny him these once, and he seethes
with rage and aggressiveness, which would be murderous were he not so
helpless. he is, in fact, dirty. he has no morals, no knowledge, no
skills. this means that all children - not just certain children - are
born delinquent. if permitted to continue in the self-centered world of
his infancy, given free reign to his impulsive actions to satisfy his wants,
every child would grow up a criminal: a thief, a killer, or a
rapist."
Minnesota Crime
Commission, probably circa 1960
