this is the scene, as you can tell it doesn't really (in my view) paint much sympathy for him other than he may of had abuse at a young age.. even that is very vague.

I think whoever added that in TV Tropes may of been pushing the excuse thing a little further than it was really presented - this is the only arguable time Bogeyman is ever given any "tragic backstory" and it is so vague I'd be hard pressed to say it really makes him any less of a monster.
