[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm still dumbfounded how the murderer's parents were not charged i the Sandy Hook shooting. It's infuriating.

These shootings nearly never occur in a vacuum, and both parents are responsible for not taking warning signs seriously.

So many parents abdicate responsibility by thinking their son could never go these lengths. The denial is massive, and I'm sure there are some parents on DCUM who are denial about their kids issues.

The Sandy Hook shooter killed his mother. He had not seen his father in two years. There was no one to charge.[/quote]

Was there any evidence that the dad had tried to get help for his son, during that time? He had massive mental health issues for far beyond those 2 years.[/quote]

The Sandy Hook shooter was an adult. Try getting mental health treatment for an uncooperative adult and come back to us with all the answers.[/quote]

There were many years between the divorce and Adam becoming an adult.[/quote]

Unless you've been here, PP, then you are probably not aware of how difficult it can be to get someone, including a minor, to stick with meds and a regimen. This doesn't mean folks shouldn't try - and is never an excuse for not purging firearms from the home or under a lock with many factors to enter - but it's not as straightforward as some here want to believe.

Really?   There's at least one poster here that seems to think you just call up the local mental hospital and say "Yeah, I know a grown adult that I'd like to have committed" and then they say "Well, bring him on down!   We'll get that taken care of!"[/quote]

No one is saying that. But there are some parents who fuel the issues (like buying guns) instead of creating a safer environment for all. [/quote]
