Eriksen, lives in Tallahassee and is a Norwegian-American dual citizen, revealed she lost contact with Ikner following the bitter custody battle she had with her son’s father, Christopher Ikner.
The messy legal struggle culminated when Eriksen kidnapped Phoenix Ikner, who was born Christian Gunnar Eriksen, and flew him to Europe in March 2015.
Eriksen claimed she was taking her son to South Florida for spring break, but instead, the mother-son duo travelled to Norway
Phoenix Ikner is accused of using a handgun that belonged to his stepmother during the shooting.
Hours after the shooting, before Ikner was identified as the suspect, Eriksen took to Facebook to rail against her son’s father and stepmother for failing to communicate on her son’s condition.
“Horrible when your alienating son’s dad is as mentally unstable as he is, along with his LCSO cop wife, that they can’t respond when you write to ask if everything is alright with my son, who studies at FSU,” Eriksen wrote in a now-deleted Facebook post viewed by the Daily Mail.
“That whole familly [sic] is nuts. He should write a book on how to parent badly, but he can’t communicate,” Eriksen added.
“Feel sorry for everyone at FSU and their kids.”
Officials have not revealed a motive in the deadly rampage.
Ikner was a student at FSU, having enrolled in the classes at the school after transferring from Tallahassee State College, where he earned an associate’s degree last fall.

When did this dual citizenship bs start?
Millions of kids are the victims of these extremely bitter custody proceedings. The parents duke it out for years, oblivious to the destruction of their children’s souls that it causes. In this case, who knows? She certainly should not have absconded to Europe with the kid, and sometimes courts bring down the hammer when a parent does that; that appears to be what happened here. Since this happened, the maternal grandmother has also gone off online. For all we know, they’re all nuts. Doesn’t absolve the kid from what he did, and I hope Florida goes for the death penalty, but I strongly suspect that there was more than one architect of the disaster that this kid’s mind became
Step parents are not the answer. They can help but the kid has to be a bit open minded too much for some.
So, birth Mom is trying to find out if kid is OK or hurt because he’s a student there, and comes out to find out that the kid not OK, but is in fact the perp?
It appears that all parties involved played a role in shaping the environment that produced a violent sociopath.
Should the state decline to pursue capital punishment, it would be entirely appropriate, and arguably necessary for federal prosecutors to intervene and bring charges under statutes that permit the death penalty.
Wow. That sure is a lot of information in a short amount of time. And not a single “alleged” or “apparent”. Yet, we can’t get a straight up story on Abrego Garcia.
What a dumbass. 🙄
Just so. In my legal career (I’m not insane. I don’t practice family law; just tangential contact) I don’t hear about the steps who are getting along great, because those never make it to court. What mystifies me is where you meet some body who is involved in one of these bitter disputes, and you jump right into the chaos by marrying them. No sane person should voluntarily opt in to such a situation
He was a leftist Trump hater. Expect this story to disappear. It does not fit the MSM narrative.
Apparently, "Phoenix" used his stepmother's service weapon. So much for "You don't need a gun because police will protect you."
His stepmother looks like she needs to do a whole lot more stepping.

Screen capture was taken before the story was taken down.
I saw that. I guess it could be read as anti-Trump if that’s what we’re looking for.
Has the FBI announced that he was on their radar yet?
What story? :)
