Full title: Anorexic, unmedicated and obsessed with a murder-mad cyber world: Adam Lanza's mental issues went untreated by officials who allowed Sandy Hook shooter's mother to overpower them, probe finds

Clearly, strict GC laws would have stopped this from happening. /s

[caligatrux]

Ah, more evidence that parents are stupid and the government should be in charge of raising our children.

[Moonman62]

Apparently his GE executive father who bugged out of the situation has no responsibility at all.

I get the impression she's your typical ‘Know-it-All’ Liberal educator... (she was a teacher, right?) who knew better than everyone else and was NOT going to follow their advise.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

It probably is true that the school let the overly-protective, know-it-all, pushy mother make tragically bad decisions against the school’s better advice. However, you know that they are going to draw exactly the wrong lessons from this and use it to enact laws that permit school and government bureaucrats to force kids who aren’t murdering psychos to bend to the government’s will over the protests of their parents.

But it was the gun’s fault. If his mother didn’t have guns, he would have had to build pipe bombs or something.

[dfwgator]

Some kids are just plain old bad seed, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

number one....you can't force treatment on someone, and we don't ever, ever want the govt to be able to do that...

number two....evil is still evil....evil is allowed into ones mind and soul....Lanza knew right from wrong...he could function somewhat...

and number three, my aspergers adult dtr could come up with the most obscure trivia question, and generally she's a deep thinker, but ask her what 5 plus 6 is and she'll need to get a calculator...ask her what a quarter after two means, and she has no clue....and then there's a certain monotone of speaking, a certain dwelling on certain subjects, sometimes from grade school.....she is smart too but she is limited..she is not violent..helps around the house.....

Lanza was extremely limited...he was odd....he was antisocial...he dwelled on death and killing....

Mommy should have taken the hard steps to have him committed...

[exit82]

Sorry, I keep reading Lazamataz in the headline.....

[lightman]

There is free speech.

There is hate speech.

THERE is criminal terroristic threat speech.

And the DOJ is fanning the flams.

[Bringbackthedraft]

But the gun is still the blame, so much so, that its looking for a new home out of state. ???

[Will88]

Always had the impression that the mother resisted admitting how serious her son’s condition was and prevented his being treated or even institutionalized as he condition warranted.

[jocon307]

It’s easy for them to say this now, and perhaps it is even true.

But the more frequent scenario is families trying to move heaven and earth to get their mentally ill relative help and getting NONE.

Nancy Lanza as she accommodated and appeased her son

---

This is an aside funny story. Once I had my best friend and her two year old son over for lunch. My son was three.
My friend’s son did not like his apple juice so we switched to orange juice. Out of the blue, he says “Mom, don’t try to appease me.” I laughed so hard, I fell out of my chair. What two year old uses the word “appease” in context? It was a sign of what was to come with that child.

[BitWielder1]

Sounds a lot like Radical Muslims, Regular folks who see the danger and the Mother Government who refuses to admit there is anything wrong.

[ClearBlueSky]

I have a question : IS there a psychiatrist or a mental health ‘professional’ left in this country who will CALL someone dangerously insane and officially recommend institutionalization? I doubt it. PC has everything as ‘ok’, no one is broken, no one is deviant-it’s all good. How many of the PC psychiatrists themselves are screwy? If your child is diagnosed with a life threatening disease-and you refuse to get the help doctors say he needs- are you not open for ‘child endangerment/neglect’ charges? So,if a head doctor says your child is homicidal and dangerous to himself and others and you do nothing-should you not be charged? That is assuming a ‘doctor’ considers anything true insanity and has the guts to give a firm diagnosis.
The parents of this evil spawn ARE responsible for not facing what he was and not decisively dealing with him to protect others. Money wasn’t a factor-denial of reality was.
The ‘professionals’ who let it go KNOWING how bad he was are guilty of neglect as well. They -and the father, and the family estate-should be sued by all those who lost loved ones to that monster.

[smokingfrog]

Probably one of the reasons the parents split up. I think the mom was a bit looney herself.

Lanza's mental issues went untreated by officials who allowed SH shooter's mother to overpower them
