THE FATHER of the Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behrig Breivik divorced the mother of Breivik when the boy was one and has been estranged from him for 16 years. Breivik’s crimes, while extraordinary in every way, show the rage characteristic of a significant minority of men raised without fathers.  Anders, who was the center of a custody battle between his parents, became a discipline problem in his teen years.

According to The Telegraph, the father, Jens Breivik, is a retired Norwegian diplomat and has been married three times. Anders Breivik’s mother was his second wife. Presumably Jens Breivik did not try to intervene in his problem son’s life after he was 16 years old.
