The parents adopted those boys when the parents were in their late 40s? If so, wonder who/what handled the adoption....

“Id say that maybe losing his adoptive mother set him off “

This guy has deeper issues. Gina Louden on Fox just said that on his social media he has pictures of dead animals. Most serial killers begin with torturing and killing animals, and starting in very early childhood.

So it’s a case of antifa-jihadi-Ted Cruz inadequate parental supervision-registered Democrat-dreamer-possible actor violence?

Thought so.

“Jeffrey Dahmer also killed animals as a child.”

I think that’s a common thread among all/most serial killers.

Anyone know if this Cruz kid is a Dreamer?

Being reported he liked to kill little animals. It seems this guy had a clear history, which included violence.

Ftom the Sun-Sentinel

“Another relative, who spoke on condition of anonymity over the sensitive matter, said Nikolas had been diagnosed with autism.”

Lynda, who died of pneumonia, adopted Nikolas the day he was born.

Nikolas’ father died from a heart attack, the relative said, and Lynda had sought counseling for Nikolas at a young age: “She did her best getting him any help he needed.”

Nikolas was living with a friend after his mom died.

Comments from neighbors and school mates:

Cruz looked “very troubled.” “He wore a hoodie and always had his head down,” she said. “He looked depressed.”

She had seen the suspect, Cruz, around school last year and remembers him as an “off kid” who would “smile weirdly, make weird comments.”

“It seemed like he didn’t really like school,” Cruz seemed “a little off,”

“she’d been warned that Nikolas had caused trouble, such as biting a child and stealing neighbors’ mail. One time, he threw eggs at Richie’s car while he was driving.”

“Police were called out numerous times, and Cruz was seen shooting at a neighbor’s chickens.”

“I told my husband I was so glad they moved. I’m afraid he was the kind of kid who would do something crazy,” Shelby said. “The older he gets, the worse kind of trouble he got into.”

Lynda asked a neighbor’s daughter, who lives up north, to take the kids when her husband died, but she refused. [WOW]

He used to get into trouble and harass neighbors, ... The police came to Cruz’s house many times...

A neighbor across the street kept little pigs as pets. “He didn’t like the pigs and didn’t like the neighbors so he sent over his dog over there to try to attack them,”... one time she saw Nikolas peeking in her window.

One time a neighbor spotted Nikolas trying to steal a bike from the garage when the door was open..... when the boy didn’t want to go to school, he would bang his head against a cement wall.

This is an excellent book to read EARLY in a troubled child’s life.

https://www.amazon.com/Before-Its-Too-Late-Trouble/dp/0812930657/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1518666671&sr=8-1&keywords=before+its+too+late+book&dpID=51PCE9BBG7L&preST=_SY291_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_&dpSrc=srch

There were too many signs on this person not to have stepped in when he was underage to protect others. Maybe the mom was in poor health or something or just refused to believe her son could harm others.

I hate to blame the dead but parents need to really do something. We need all to keep a closer watch on any teen showing violent tendencies. Maybe to the point of against their will institutionalizing them, at least until there is complete compliance with calming medications (yes, to the point of drugging initiative out of them - NOT antidepressants which seem to increase the change of violence in underaged boys).

We must choose drastic prevention.

I’d also like to see ONLY CITIZENS AND RESIDENTS being able to use public schooling. Check IDs. Use the saved money to pay for top open and hidden armed security at every public school. Stealth teachers and admin armed. Uniformed guards.

“I’d also like to see ONLY CITIZENS AND RESIDENTS being able to use public schooling. ”

Californians voted for that overwhelmingly over a decade ago with prop 187. One liberal activist judge overturned the will of the people. If that had been allowed to stand, I believe entire face of the nation would be different today. We wouldn’t even have to be discussing illegal immigration.

Te article said pneumonia. She was born in 1949, so she and her husband were in their fifties when they became parents.

After her husband died —> She tried to convince a neighbor’s daughter tp take Nicolas and his brother and move them away up north. She was too old, raising them on her own and unable to control him.

He was a great deal of trouble.

If what was reported is true: He is a complete sociopath with autism that has little or no parental discipline.

The police responded quickly to ID Cruz because they all know him as a life-long menace and trouble maker.
