The sad reality is that his mom thought enough love and attention could cure him. Instead he became more isolated and he became more dependent on her, once she threatened to have him committed he shattered. He lost trust in the only person he knew cared for and loved him and then he killed her and blamed the children she volunteered to tutor last year in Kindergarten. His mom was in denial of his mental illness, I think his asperger's and social disorder led her to think he just needed more attention and love. What he really needed was to be institutionalized and seen by a professional a long time ago. She should have never let him near guns, let alone keep them in the house where he could find them. She feared leaving him home alone & had a babysitter when he was a teen! He was obviously a danger at least to himself, but now we know he was a danger to the public at large & himself and should have been institutionalized.

Billions of words will be written about the Sandy Hook Massacre, but when all is said and done, the short paragraph you quoted says it all...
