Lanza was bats**t crazy and I do blame the mom & dad for not doing something (and giving the kid a gun was a really bad idea).
But
Connecticut pushes drugging kids so they can fit the mold better. I know. I have a child who wasn’t considered “normal” by the Connecticut school system. They started pushing drugs in elementary school. I absolutely refused.
Once the kid started High school, we had no further problems. I knew this was a case of maturity - other kids needed to catch up to him.
Had numerous problems with the school system with the 3 older brother as well. Connecticut has forgotten how to educate boys.
Well it’s obvious this kid needed far more than simply talk sessions from a very early age and went far too long without medication that surely would have helped had the mother not refused such help.
Just one look at his bedroom without even examining the kid would tell anyone he had fully withdrawn into his own world....and the mother knew this all too well.
Everything about this kid was seen as seriously impaired....not something he would grow out as you found.
