Perhaps because Adam Lanza shot four rounds into the head in his mother, before he strolled out and massacred a large group of innocent children and women at a local elementary school.
BTW, he used his mothers legally registered guns.So far, none of the weapons were in his fathers name.

His parents have been divorced since 2009. His mother was not left destitute.
His older brother hasn't had contact with him for two years.

Are you starting to see a pattern here of why the family breakdown occurred yet?
Are you going to blame the father for this?

On what basis?

Can you possibly wait a few weeks for the local police force to gather all the possible relevant factual information, and present their conclusions first to the families of the dead victims, which include the other son and the former husband, before you cast aspersions against the father of the killer?

Who do you think you are?

Actually, it’s a very common-sense question: Would this kid have been so uncontrolled if his father had been living in the house, and not just a single woman?

For whatever it is worth, at least the accomplice (the mother who bought the guns and trained the shooter) didn’t survive the fallout. Small comfort to the families of the real victims, but in the northeast accomplices (or murderers themselves) don’t normally get sentenced to death; this one did.

otoh, why is there such criticism of the mother?....she was a good person by all accounts even the family of her ex's....the murderer on his own stopped seeing his own father a couple of years ago....he was estranged from his own brother....

the mother didn't dump the kid in a mental hospital at age 6....by all accounts she tried to keep her son protected yet encouraged him to get out and about....

this murderer was seriously deranged and evil....period....

he btw was barely talking to his mother the last few days before his rampage.....so he himself stopped seeing his own father, and he himself stopped seeing his own brother and he himself stopped talking to his own mother, in who's house he lived....

can we all just understand that this murderer was totally mentally dysfunctional.....end of story....

Though not confirmed, as so much in this story, I have read that his parents had actually been separated since 2001.

Still, I believe a number of this type of killer (e.g., Columbine) have come from intact families.

It’s his spawn.
