I would suspect that RFK Jrs family had an autistic or mentally handicapped member of the family that they were embarrassed about. That they were worried the woman in question would be too promiscuous and embarrass the "totally non sexually controversial" Kennedy family name ... so they had her forcibly lobotomies.
It's just a guess.
Its not a secret. It was his Aunt Rosemary. The Kennedy family had her lobotomized.
"As a child, she reportedly exhibited developmental delays. In her young adult years, Kennedy was "becoming increasingly irritable and difficult."[1] In response to these issues, her father arranged a lobotomy on her in 1941, when she was 23 years of age. The procedure left her permanently incapacitated and rendered her unable to speak intelligibly. " source
No. Way. What a coincidence that I managed to guess that.
What boiled down to was Rosemary was a woman who wouldn't fall in line. From what I remember reading she was outspoken and didn't want to conform to the role her family wanted. So, they started saying she was depressed and had her lobotomized and institutionalized to keep her from being in the public. It's a very sad story.
