Wealthy Children Who Actively Sabotaged Their Families

Rosemary Kennedy never planned to harm her family, but her independent nature threatened the clan’s image. During the 1930s, her mood swings and refusal to conform to the intellectual standards of Joe Kennedy Sr. terrified her father. He feared a public drama could ruin his sons’ future political ambitions. In 1941, Joe Sr. ordered a secret lobotomy that went horribly wrong. The medical procedure permanently incapacitated Rosemary, exposing the dark extents that the Kennedy patriarch would go to protect the family name.
