Alleged school shooter’s mom paid $50K to adopt him from ‘drug addict’
NYPost ^ | February 27, 2018

Mom Lynda Cruz paid $50,000 to adopt alleged school shooter Nikolas Cruz from his “drug addict” biological mother when he was just 3 days old, and then dropped another $15,000 on his younger half-brother, Zachary, when she found out the troubled mom was pregnant again, according to a report. “Nik’s biological mother was just a complete screw-up, drug addict and thief,” former friend and neighbor Trish Duvaney told RadarOnline. “I even said to Lynda: ‘You don’t know the mother’s background.’ Both children were born after one-night stands. The birth mother, she didn’t even really know who the two biological fathers were.”

Lynda was about 50 at the time, and she and husband Roger Cruz were struggling to adopt a child because of her relatively advanced age, Duvaney said.

“So she went to a lawyer and did it to where you pay the biological mother’s expenses,” she said. “You’re not directly giving money to the birth mother.”

Lynda ponied up $50,000 to get Nik, now 19, directly from the hospital when he was 3 days old — and another $15,000 to later adopt Zachary, now 18, Radar reported.

Adoption is awesome. But a lot of babies created in the womb of a crack baby will never have normal brain function. You were lucky.

She does so with the belief that “someone” will bail her out of her situation, because her friends were.

Adoption is indeed awesome but my repetitive post was definitely not. Sorry. I was in the car and it didn’t look like it posted.

Adoption seems so tough for all parties involved; some adoptees thrive, while others have issues (IIRC, in this case, the shooter still had a relationship with his mother).

It is not wrong for her to hope for help for herself and her baby.

The “point” is, no death penalty. Off the table. Crystal clear insanity.
The USA doesn’t kill the criminally insane. Comprende?


No. How does his adoptive mother paying $50k to adopt him as a newborn from a drug-addicted mother equate to "criminally insane"? I'm sure that are a shiitake-ton of kids born to drug addicted mothers, who are not criminally insane, especially those who were adopted as infants.

You are wrong for encouraging the making of more screwed up people.

Cruz will obviously try, but have a difficult time in Florida with using the insanity plea. He premeditated his crime for months and knew that his actions would result in deaths. He knew killing was wrong and that he would face the death penalty.

He fits the definition of severely emotionally disturbed and should be held accountable for his action.

Florida death row averages 14.9 years. That is longer than the age of many of the children whose lives he took.

You are doing nothing more than behaving like a bleeding heart liberal who wants more welfare and more immigrants because it “feels” right. Watch the “Sanctuary cities become inundated with illegals that will make those cities sh*tholes.

You get more of what you subsidize!

Don’t be a leftist tool(useful idiot).

I know you mean well and are only acting out of motherly instincts. You are thinking with your heart and not your head.

I see. I'm just like them, except for the following details, which you may judge irrelevant:

But other than that, I'm just like them.
