Do you think Alex deserves the treatment he gets from his parents? Would you let him stay if you were his father or mother?

Alex does actually deserve what he gets, and tries to play the pity card a little too much. He talks about the suffering that he has gone through, when in reality, his victims have suffered so much more. If it were up to me, I would not let him stay under any circumstances. He is a psychopath, after all.
