Just because you have an anecdote that illustrates something doesn't negate the broader conclusion.
Frankly, the original statement that 'it only takes one or two' should be rather obvious, it's called 'parenting' and it usually implies a couple of people who have a bond with a child.
That said, we all know every kind of person from every walk of life who ended up being in every kind of scenario.
There's a lot of randomness in humans.
That doesn't take away from the fact that a couple of 'good parents' and a decent community + school is almost assuredly the best path.
