As a further clue on the underlying issues, did anyone else notice that one of the photos he gave to the Daily Mail of his son shows the young kid holding an assault rifle at a gun show? |
Wow, they failed at parenting. |
Yes, very disturbing. If I was the mother, I'd be HELLA P*SSED that he gave photos of my son to the press at all, let alone holding a gun. |
You don't know that. For some types of mental illness, there is very little you can do as a parent to change a child's course. |
I wonder if this is the same Michael J. Rotundo. This incident happened in 2009 when he was 22 - around the same time he had a child. That put him at the correct age, and if it is the same guy, the girl he was stalking and threatening is likely the mother of his child:
http://romesentinel.com/news?newsid=20091212-141155 NEW HARTFORD — A Syracuse man accused of stalking a woman at her home over the past week was arrested outside her window Thursday night. Police said Michael J. Rotondo, 22, of 641 Park Ave., sent the woman several threatening text messages earlier this week, before finally showing up outside her home on Wednesday. The victim called 9-1-1, but Rotondo fled before police arrived. He returned Thursday night, however, and police caught him walking around the woman’s residence at about 7:15 p.m. Charged with two counts each of third-degree stalking, trespassing, and one count of second-degree menacing, police said Rotondo was arraigned and sent to county jail on $4,500 cash bail or bond. An order of protection was filed on behalf of the victim, and police said Rotondo was ordered to surrender his firearms. He is scheduled to reappear in Town Court on Dec. 17. |
That mug shot sure looks like him. |
This would also be right around the time he lost his job and moved back with his parents. Could be a total coincidence though, and not him. It's hard to tell with all that hair he has on his face now. |
He also filed a lawsuit against the state of New York for breaching his civil rights. It was dismissed. |
I'm going to guess he's some kind of libertarian incel manchild. Although I realize that's kind of redundant. |
He’s not mentally ill, he’s just a special snowflake |
+1 Double this. Imagine that is part of why he lost custody. Can you imagine someone so out of touch, entitled, delusional, with guns? |
He will eventually snap and authorities will shrug and scratch their heads. “What could we have done?” |
I wonder if this guy has any friends to speak of |
I think the poor parents were finally forced to make a decision:
1. keep putting up with their loser son, who realistically will never be a good person, and give up on having a relationship with their grandson, or 2. give up on loser son in order to have a relationship with their grandson, who has the potential to be a decent human being I feel so sorry for everyone involved, except the loser son. |
Rotondo has never lived with his child but said he saw his child regularly. He told Business Insider he was pursuing a career only passively because "I saw my child frequently enough where I became a significant component of my child's life." Rotondo said, however, that he recently lost his visitation rights and that as a result, his parents "have been trying to coerce me away" and had stopped feeding him. He said a notice to vacate was "a retaliatory action" for losing his visitation rights. "I was an excellent father," Rotondo told Business Insider, adding that he would take his child fishing and had foregone buying clothes for himself so he could take his child skiing. "I was a great father, and [the child] needed me in their life. "That's why I'm not the CEO of a big company," Rotondo said about his responsibility as a parent. "That's why I'm living with my parents still." http://www.businessinsider.com/why-30-year-old-millennial-ordered-to-vacate-parents-house-has-no-career-2018-5 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
