Why criticize the mother of the infant but not the mother of the murderer?
I'm watching the news and every is offering sympathy to the parents of the jackass maniac. (notice, I refuse to use his name, I won't give him that much credit).
Yet, when Columbine happened, it was a massacre on the parents for how they raised those boys. I've noticed the same with other murders committed by kids still at home and the same thing with adult children and their parents receiving sympathy.
Why is that? Why do we sit around criticizing the mother that took her three month old to the movies,
But the jackasses mother gets a pass??? She is a psychiatrist and knew immediately it was her son who'd done this. And nobody has a single word against her, just sympathy.
Why?
Don't get me wrong, I doubt she could have done anything even if she did suspect something beforehand.
Quoting AJmama4:his mom is a psychiatrist??Ohh the irony!! His mother is in the mental health field, and didn't know her son had a problem?? I mean he clearly was smiling for his mugshots afterwards! She had to have known he had something wrong with him. Someone that can have no remorse clearly has issues. I give that woman no sympathy. Her son should have been locked up in a psychward!! However, if a mom is not in the mental health field,she may not have known the signs. (and still, many moms do know there kids are messed up but don't want to get them the help they need).The mother who brought her 3mo baby in the theater wasn't hurting anyone. That monster did! Parents these days are not paying attention to what they are saying, doing, or subjecting their kids to! Pretty sick actually!! It also is sickening EVERY TIME something goes down you get the nosey finger pointers scoping out to choose their next victim to bully, instead of minding their own and fixing their own problems! All those people in there were victims.
I'll have to second this. Babies have never bothered me. Cell phones on the other hand are annoying.
Quoting hddcooper:
As many times as I have been to the movie theatre , I have been more annoyed by the talking giggling teen or the rude person on their cell phone. I can not recall ever being bothered by a baby.
Quoting WrapNLoseInches:
ive taken a 6 month old to a 10pm movie... that doesnt make me a terrible person or mother, we had no friends or family around the area to watch him, so he went with us. wasnt my best judgement call but hey i was a new parent.
there is no reason to be condmning the mom of the infant, the dadon the other hand is a questionale charcter at best for having LEFT his girl and two children there during the attack to save himself.
the maniac who did this, well, why shoud his parents be blamd? he was an adult, in a gradute/phd program for neuroscience. neurosciece is a very academically challnging subject this guy was beyond smart to be in this progam WITH HONORS and people saying he was insane...well...you cant really be THAT insane to go to school for that many years in tha hard of a subject an NEVER have a mental break before now.
something caused him to do this and it happened i the last 3 months when he started preparing for it by buying the guns. his parents arent to blae forhis actions,until this, he had been an upstanding citizen who had actualy contributed to society. his parents had nothing to dowith this or his actions as far as fault or blame goes UNLESS he had spoken to them about doing such and they ignored it.
I agree with this, I know several people who have taken their baby to a late movie at a young age because it would more than likely sleep right through it. At least she had enough sense to save herself and the kids unlike her SO who ran. Now if the kids were older then that would be a different story. And as for the shooter, unless he told his mom he was going to do this ahead of time, how was she suppost to know they live in different states.
Quoting Fallaya:If the shooting happened at a Walmart at midnight, would people still be criticizing the mother? What if the baby was in a car, riding with his parents at midnight, and was struck by a stray bullet...still blame the mother? People are so ridiculous, I swear.
what could she had done?
A mother can love her child and raise them right but in the end the child will grow up the way it wants to. you cant blame the mother and there has to be a point when a person has to responsible for their own destiny
She is asking about her dad ....
