[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 568798"] Politics, gun control, and all of that aside; I am heartsick thatched shooter's mother is being vilified by so many people- the press and the public at large. As though she was a co-conspirator or bears responsibility. She was not a perp -she is a VICTIM and was murdered by her son!! I swear, if I see one more FB post about how this is a "parenting failure" I am going to scream! Any of us with "adult" children at risk know how darn near impossible it is to have any say in their lives! We can't compel them to get help! How I wish we could - once they're 18 we can't even request a copy of their grades or check to see of they're attending class! We're the ones who kept them clothed and fed and kissed their boo boos, got them braces and soccer balls and were d@mn good mothers- often the people who know our kids the best - and yet the minute they turn 18; our concerns have no legal merit and half the time they're met with suspicion or hostility by the very people we are asking to help our kids. This young adult man had no known history of violence and his mother was killed first. My heart breaks for ALL of his victims, including her. I can't imagine dying knowing it was at the hand of your child- only solace is she never knew what he did after he shot her. Of course I take this all back if it turns out she was a diabolical monster but I thinks it's awful that she is not being treated like a victim. [/QUOTE]
