“I am sharing this story because I am Adam Lanza’s mother. I am Dylan Klebold’s and Eric Harris’s mother. I am Jason Holmes’s mother. I am Jared Loughner’s mother. I am Seung-Hui Cho’s mother. And these boys—and their mothers—need help. In the wake of another horrific national tragedy, it’s easy to talk about guns. But it’s time to talk about mental illness.”

There would be some who see his devil worship as just another religion so he is unlikely to lose his job because of it.

On a happier note I knew of a young lady who was completely into Satanism but when she was born again she became a different person. I remember seeing after her morning prayer and her face would literally glow! There is always hope.

Mass killings have been going on since the dawn of time. What you perceive is simply the constant repitition of a relatively small mass killing by several cable tv news channels.

Remember, simply because you werent there doesn't mean the past didn't happen!

A bright kid. Bright boys with no adult male to guide them. This is a problem that is hundreds of years old. Read the story of Iccarus and Daedalus. It’s an allegory. Iccarus flies too high (seeks too much knowledge) and is killed. His father warned him. The bright ones see more horror and they have no one to help them deal with it. There is an old saying that there’s a fine line between genius and insanity, and it’s true. Bright young men see further and they see pain and suffering and without a strong male to guide them, they become frustrated. They also have all those teenage hormones and the energy of youth. In many ways, it’s the same problems and concerns we all see, but for them it’s more intense.

If you’re ever somewhere with a ‘postie’ don’t drink or eat anything he or she offers you.

Well, I wouldn’t compare it to Sophie’s choice, since that was a Satanic - and utterly specious - proposition that the Nazi officer put to her - he wasn’t going to spare one child, he simply wanted to degrade and humiliate her even more by making her “choose” which of her children was going to die.
In this situation, the disturbed child is so miserable that being institutionalized is not going to be significantly worse for him, but his absence from the home could mean the beginning of a normal life for the other two children.

In the olden days (when I was a kid) a youn boy who acted like this would be spanked in public by any nearest parent
______________________________________________

I did that...

Put them across my knee and laid on the the hand for a couple of swipes..

and now if the grandchildren need a spanking they get it on the spot too...

come and get me copper...

as for this kid...

the female who gave birth to him should be locked up for endangerment...

locking up the knives will be too late after hes stabbed one into his little brother...

Not true. There was that young man in Texas who went to the top of a tower and picked people off below with a rifle - back in the early ‘60s.

Wow. Imagine living in fear of the next time your kid snaps. Her younger children have a drill that when this 13 yr old snaps, they lock themselves in the car. I couldn’t live like that.

I have a feeling that no amount of grounding or medications is going to help her stay safe from this kid as he grows bigger in height and weight.

She was advised that he needs to be charged with a crime in order to create a “paper trail” in the system. That must be comforting to her.

Have a sister who I went through similar to that woman in 1987 (minus drug addiction). Couldn’t commit her because she was an adult, police could do NOTHING until she actually DID hurt someone (threats were there)....removed her from my Mom’s house....it was NOT fun....she went on to have 2 babies, who are now functioning adults....so far ok....but, I still keep my distance....

Years ago I met a woman at a seminar who made a living fostering children who had murdered. She was a very happy and positive person. Her life involved locks and alarms throughout her home. She had an extremely structured day. I don’t think she fostered more than two or three kids at a time. These were kids who, maybe at ten, had killed someone intentionally. They were budding psychopaths. The system had no other way to deal with them. One of the scariest movies I ever saw was the 1956 movie, The Bad Seed.

Honestly, we need to ban brains. No mass murder has taken place without one. Therefore, the only conclusion is that brains kill people and should be outlawed.

The democrats will see this as a victory and instant increase in their voting block.

I actually think this blog post is quite telling and totally relevant. I’m surprised and impressed that the Post linked to it.

“There would be some who see his devil worship as just another religion so he is unlikely to lose his job because of it.”

True, although the depth of his bondage is extreme, he talks to goddesses and dragons like you and I would talk to one another according to him....Keeps an oversized dollhouse with barbie dolls around it to represent the different goddesses.....He is ex-military and thinks he ended the war in Iraq...I’m not kidding, he does not say these things around strangers, very cunning and deceptive....And that is just a sampling, too much to list....Should he be an ARMED guard?.....I don’t think so....

“On a happier note I knew of a young lady who was completely into Satanism but when she was born again she became a different person...... I remember seeing after her morning prayer and her face would literally glow! There is always hope....”

Mel

Amen to that!!....I pray for him literally everyday....”Old things passed away, a new creature in Christ Jesus”.....

I hear ya, but given that we’ve Barry as president, Bill with such a reasonable agenda—which I think this is—could be the best we could hope for.
