Interview with Adam Lanza's father

[BPTactical]

Mom was 100% culpable in this matter. She knew damn well her little baby had serious issues and she taught him to shoot and kept firearms in the house.
I'm sorry but if you have someone in the house with serious mental issues keeping firearms in the home is a recipe for a disaster, secured or not.
I feel it was merciful he killed her.

Sadly true.

i love my kids too, but honestly you have to be host with yourself when your kid is batshit crazy, time for some serious intervention.

Agreed. There are dozens of anecdotes in the article that are cause for serious concern; some of them warranting hospitalization. And yet, mommy dearest just refused to take the steps necessary and instead tried to placate him with security blankets.

From the lenghty read, It sure seems like the kid should have been in an instatution, not living at home. He was beyond bat shit crazy.

[Rabid]

I suspect that his condition, no matter how severe, didn't seem as extreme to the parents as it would to someone that wasn't around him regularly.

I would agree with that and on top of it i think she only wanted to blame it on asperger's syndrome. A lot of the the behaviors like crying on the bathroom floor and getting overly frustrated with things like school work and him self are standard asperger's traits but as the father explained we are not only hearing about asperger's here. Suddenly not being able to understand his school work should have been a sign of this but what screams there is a problem is how he dissociated with everyone.

From what I gathered the possibility of him being institutionalized may have very well been the catalyst that caused him to take the actions that he did. Rumour has it that mom was seriously looking into having him commited.

This interview was pretty illuminating. Anonymous Conservative's essay on Sandy Hook makes for an interesting and possibly insightful companion piece.

not sure of the premises that bullying would make them behave... the bullying that occurs today is different than we had when I grew up and you too Bert it used to just end at school now the bully can follow you home through emails etc. when we had a problem with a kid we would go out behind the gym and handle it ourselves. My thought would be that it is the fact that kids are punished severely for working things out themselves that the lack of a simple fistfight behind the gym or after school finally manifests itself in one giant act of aggression.

maybe this kid was not bullied through email maybe the whole bullying thing was not an issue here, but it cetainly was blamed for events like columbine, certain teen suicides. how does this guy explain the school shootings that occured supposedly from bullying.

i do not aggree that bullying this kid to keep him check would have been a good idea.
