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.
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.
