Horrendous story that is repeated too often, education is a big part of the solution, teaching dullards like Mantis' stepfather from an early age that their circumstances is not somebody else's fault.
Education won't prevent 100% of occurrences, it may even make some worse giving psychopaths enhanced skills, but it should reduce the frequency considerably, and improve the response of those around the situation.
Not making excuses, but this sort of behaviour can sometimes have it's roots in many generations, it takes courage to break free and not go down the same route because fear is at the root cause of much of it.
On one side a gutless fear, taking life's struggles out on those weaker, finding someone to blame.
The other side can be a fear of the unknown which is basically a fear of change even if it is likely to be change for the good, like an escape.
