Small Town New England school system screwed up due to Political Correctness.
Many there are looking in all directions for answers when they all need to look into the mirror
“He developed a fascination with mass murder and suicide, and spent time talking to other massacre enthusiasts online, the report said. “
Where?
“experts” aren’t......
School are for learning. They are not psych clinics, abortion clinics or any other type of clinic because their mission is to teach, not doctor - two different things. Mrs. Lanza, you failed in your duty to take care of your own. It’s not my problem (I have plenty of my own). It’s not the school’s problem. It’s not the government’s problem. It’s not the gun’s problem.
People need to start taking responsibility. Faceless institutions and inanimate objects have no responsibility.
His Mother is very much responsible, and she paid the price.
Liberalism at it finest
Despite how much the libs want schoolds to be the parents, they aren’t, never were and never will be. His mother was the sole parent after the father bailed on them. The father agreed to pay for treatment in the divorce decree but rarely saw the kid after that. It had been three years, iirc, that the father or the older brother saw Adam. One of his therapists was later charged with child molestation. Who knows if the doctor did anything to Adam or Nancy knew and that influenced her decisions. Nancy was close to getting him placed into a treatment center before the shooting which could be what set him off.
In a saner time Adam Lanza would’ve been safely locked away in a mental institution for the criminally insane. Remind me once again who it was that forced the closure of these institutions.
There is strong evidence that LAnza had been sexually abused and that, in part, his violence was intended to express his rage about this prior abuse.
From what I have heard, and from what we read here, it sounds as if his parents bear at least part of the blame. I don’t know what the school could have done, under current rules.
Yes. I think there’s a profession with some pretty eager beavers in the mix when it comes to explaining these things too.
Awwwwww...HE was the first victim,eh? BS!!! The parents ‘squandered’ the chance to help the INSANE kid they created!! From what I’ve read they could have afforded to INSTITUTIONALIZE the evil little demon as early as 4th grade. Why didn’t they? 20 innocents are dead because of him and I- for one- am GLAD his mother was his first victim. He was a monster from birth-a monster she and his father refused to acknowledge and deal with-so now it’s ‘society’s’ fault he wasn’t ‘helped’?? If doctors and teachers had recommended he be institutionalized, these enabling parents wouldn’t have done it. They( especially the mother) protected and enabled her evil spawn and inflicted him upon society. First you have to face the fact that your child IS mentally ill and dangerous; then you have to have the guts to do something about it-up to and including institutionalizing him. We need insane asylums for those who can’t afford to do it privately. This family could- and didn’t. If he had killed MY child, the entire family would be living in cardboard boxes and eating out of the garbage forever.
This kind of stuff is just hindsight.
If there was ever a wacko upper-class family, this was it.
I knew a few people like this when I was growing up. Their wealth prevents them from having to act sensibly, so they do whatever they feel like.

That’s the real problem. They don’t want to come to terms with the fact that it was their PC attitudes (and policies), not the availability of guns that caused this horrible tragedy. But now “the never let a tragedy go to waste crowd” is trying to capitalize on what happened to further their PC agenda. The deaths now are simply a means to an end. Breaking eggs to make an omelette so to speak.

Socialist Democrat FemiNazis!
Tell her what she’s won, Bob!
Agree, AL’s mother didn’t do enough and neither did his father, for that matter, who walked away early and apparently paid the bills, generously, but he just wasn’t there. I still think the mother used drugs and alcohol quite a lot to keep her numbed enough to live with this seriously deranged boy.
This kid belonged in an institution, and the Lanza’s could have afforded to keep him in a very good one. I think they decided not to for financial reasons.
If he quit going to appointments, that means she left it up to him.
That is not good thinking.
SHE was responsible to get him to his appointments.... but it sounds like she must have been too busy or something... and trusted her ‘child’ to go on his own.
Stupid
