Interesting. Nobody has been able to find any connection between him and the school. Apparently, his mother was neither a teacher, an aide or even a volunteer there. However, if this kid had been a student at some point, that would have given him something to fix on.
I think his mother was your basic codependent mother of a mentally ill child and thought she was his defender and the only one who could communicate with him...hence the divorce and the “homeschooling,” which does not appear to have involved any actual education. And she was the first one he killed.
She didn’t create him, but she was very naive and did enable him. However, what else could she have done? CT doesn’t even permit involuntary outpatient medication (thanks to the ACLU) and I’m sure there’s no way that either she or even her well-off husband, the kid’s father, could have gotten him into residential treatment.
“However, what else could she have done?”
Getting rid of the guns is a start, when you have a mental case living with you.
