Codependent mother. I have known two people like this. Oftentimes mothers will take up the “cause” of a mentally ill son to the point that it goes against their husbands (this couple got divorced in 2009, which I believe was around the time the kid, Adam, was about to turn 18).
However, in her defense, I will say that she probably couldn’t have gotten him comitted no matter what she did. I’m sure she was scared of him (which is probably really why she had the guns) but she had done what mothers frequently do, which is go out and cry “my baby,” when some thug is being carted off for murders or even torture murders of multiple victims.
It’s a mother thing. But that’s why we have got to have policies that protect society and not the sensibilities of overprotective (and soon to be dead) mothers. Strangely enough, the one person these protected madmen always hate most is the mother who has protected them. She was the first one he killed.
Not in Connecticut anyways. In many states you can probate them into the custody of a mhc facility for treatment if you can prove that he is a danger to himself or others. Unfortunately it wouldn’t have helped here but in other states it could have. I know a couple of people who were forced into treatment in Kansas recently. They spent 90 days in Larned.
I know a mother who fought like hell to get her son, who she was afraid of, treated. Finally UCLA got him straightened out - at least for the time being. After trying various meds prescribed by various doctors that didn’t work UCLA “washed” his system and then put him on something else and now he’s a really good kid. Yet to reach puberty however.
And just as often the father splits and takes up with a new woman because he can't handle what's going on at home.
http://www.mindlink.org/rights.html ~ handbook written about CT rules regarding rights of the mentally ill. This is what she was up against. BTW, your point about his mother being the first one he killed is probably under investigation as we write each other. Bet he’s scragged some others!

She was reportedly a “prepper”. I think that’s why she had the guns.

Thought it was around 2006. Nonetheless, I’m wondering what the deal is with “daddy”.
