What's it like for parents when their child does something horrible to someone else?

This isn't my story but my friend's. Her neighbor used to be the mother of man serving a long sentence for attempt murder. His ex girlfriend ended the relationship and he wouldn't take no for an answer, kept stalking her. He poured gasoline on her and tried to set her on fire but luckily the lighter failed after several attempts. He was angry then and resorted to stabbing her several times. The girl survived but has been limping since.

According to the friend, the mother of that POS would often question where she went wrong or cry whenever she saw his old baby and childhood picture. She requested her child to continue remaining behind bars for the safety of others but still visits him.

Lets try to put ourselves in that woman's shoes. What's it like to know your child did something horrible to someone else, that they are a total POS, a danger to society?
