The Aslan Battley thought that authority and class in Jamaica was to have the right to hurt children and to actually hurt children with some kind of immunity and with this being his ultimate goal in life, he hurt his children; all of them but he wanted to displace the blame unto others and this included Leefsland, LeeP Banne and Grease who lived with them. He was also very vein and did not think about the drano affecting the boy's health and he did not grow sufficiently in time for school and it became a pain to think of having someone around who was abused and not in Aslan's vanity.
