article. It expresses exactly how I feel about omitting Mrs. Lanza. Both she and her son were victims of the tragedy.

It is tragic that in this rich country, we have ignored the mentally ill, with so few treatment programs. It's a travesty of justice and we should all be ashamed! If there had been help for him, and support for his mother, chances are high this would never have happened.

Between our love for guns and dismissal of the mentally ill, we are doomed to have this repeated in the future.
