(37,648 posts)Mom said they were good boys (and I have no reason to doubt that), and as Moore says, they had no history of violence (at least one of them...not sure about the other), but....
one thing the boys did do was stay in their rooms for hours on end playing video games.
So why not look into that, as well as looking into meds, or instead of, if there's no evidence they were taking meds? It's an obvious thing to look into it. Eric was particularly bright. Good grades. But then he'd spend entire days in his room playing video games. And his Mom thought that was normal? Did she even know what those games were?
Something to think about and look into.
I don't know if Lanza played video games, though. But he was probably on meds. Maybe it's a combination of the two things.
