Agree....I moved there a few yrs ago...I had no idea how bad it really is..I spend several months away in Colombia just to keep my sanity
These brothers are both ill.
The Baker Act is a temporary solution- he will be out within hours if he’s not already.
It’s very fuzzy how they are related, if at all.
People in there fifties are not normally able to adopt infants. Roger and Lynda Cruz adopted two infants.
Nik was adopted as an infant (weeks old) and this brother is two years younger. Perhaps the bio mother is a young cousin or niece to Lynda Cruz.
Did this boy come from the same source- same bio mother? (Were there chemical dependence issues?)

Several reports on this shooter identify the fact that both he and his brother were adopted.

A lot more from the
“Malcolm and Christine Roxburgh were neighbors of the Cruz family for many years. “It was a wonderful idea. Two older people to have two little boys to look after. They were just kind people.” Christine said Lynda asked her daughter, who lives up north, to take the kids when her husband died, but she refused.” .....“Christine said when the boy didn’t want to go to school, he would bang his head against a cement wall.”
Baker Act (Florida) under 18YO = 12 hour hold. Adults = 72 hours.
Zach turns 18 next week.
Lantana is in Palm Beach County.
The second family is, from what I heard, the lawyer of the deceased parents. Maybe he was the estate lawyer when they passed.
Schizophrenia is hereditary, unfortunately, and most commonly presents in the late teen years in males, and after the birth of the first child for females.

On Sept. 28, 2016, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office in Florida responded to a 911 call about an 18-year-old who had been fighting with his mom.
Nikolas Cruz and his mother, Lynda, had been fighting over paperwork needed for the high school student to get an ID card, the officer’s report states. It goes on to detail how the teen had been harming himself and had talked about buying a gun. He suffers from mental illness, the deputy noted, and a therapist and an investigator from the Department of Children and Families were also on the scene. “He has been cutting his arms, his mother said, to get attention, as he learned it from an ex-girlfriend,” the report says. “He has mentioned in the past that he would like to purchase a firearm.”
However, Jared Bienenfeld, a therapist with Henderson Mental Health, “deemed Nikolas to be no threat to anyone or himself at this present time,” according to the report. The deputy and the investigator “saw no signs of mental illness or criminal activity and left without incident,” the report concludes.
From 2010 until November 2016, Broward County sheriff’s deputies responded to at least 36 emergency 911 calls from a pleasant-looking, tree-lined suburban home on 80th Terrace, the street in Parkland where Cruz lived with his younger brother, Zachary, and mother, who died last November at the age of 68.
However, despite the repeated calls to authorities for disturbing behavior, Cruz had never been arrested until this Valentine’s Day, when he took an Uber to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, pulled an AR-15 from a black duffle bag, and began gunning down former classmates and teachers, killing at least 17 people.
After concealing himself among the crowd of terrified students fleeing campus, Cruz went to Subway to buy a drink and then to McDonald’s before authorities caught him in a nearby neighborhood. The 19-year-old has admitted to being the shooter and faces 17 counts of premeditated murder.
He purchased his gun legally last year, officials said.

Nearly a year later, Nikolas Cruz punched a hole in the wall after his mother took away his Xbox.
Neighbors, classmates, and friends also described an estranged “loner” whose disturbing social media profiles were littered with guns, shooting targets, dead frogs, and a user always dressed in black with his face covered. He also reportedly left comments declaring his desire to shoot and kill people on YouTube, one of which was flagged to the FBI in September.
With a history like that, why would any family take them in their house? Especially when one of the them was bringing a gun.
Perhaps he lost it. His mother passed away in Nov and now his closest relative (brother) just committed mass murder.
It’s a 12 hour evaluation. Not sure what’s going to happen to him as I have a feeling the family he was staying with doesn’t want him there anymore but’s, I could be wrong. .
There were some changes to the Baker Act in 2017. The changes were meant to “protect minors”, whatever the hell that means. But if the younger brother meets the criteria, which is supposedly even more stringent now, why in Hades didn’t the older one?
One only has to look at Nikolas Cruz’s eyes. He has Jimmy Kimmel eyes.
so he lied on his yellow sheet...
How would you even reach such an outlandish conclusion?
Until he posted the You Tube video, what had he had said or done to justify another visit from authorities, arrest or forcible admission to mental health?
Assuming he was serious at that time, “How to you stop someone who has murder in his heart.”

Hey, lets ask the psychiatrist that diagnosed President Trump as a loon and see what she thinks.
Yep....
