Sandy Hook

[tw]

Surprising that this topic has not a thread. On 21 Nov 2014, State of Connecticut released their report on Adam Lanza. A fascinating study of the history and mental condition of Adam. No one smoking gun is identified as the 'reason'. In fact, the report does not try to point blame. Instead it notes the many mistakes, missed warnings, and the many potential reasons that made Sandy Hook possible.

One glaring fact is a failed strategic objective promoted by Nancy Lanza who was more interested in shaping a world to fit Adam rather than shape Adam to fit the world. Who did this, in part, because others who should have known better, instead, conceded to her beliefs. A school system that entertained her demands rather than address the problem. A Yale Child Study Center that identified the problem but that was mostly ignored by the Lanzas and by school experts. And a mentally accomplished child that, well, it make interesting reading on a kid who had serious mental problems and yet was not psychotic.s
