1. He was seen by the NH Birth to Three Intervention program, referred to special education. He saw a psychiatris at 13, was treated at Yale Child Study Center, and later treated by a second psychiatrist.

Then Adam Lanza murdered 20 children, and the @GOP did nothing....

@GOP 2...there was no further mental help that Lanza could have possibly received. His parents recognized his psychiatric problems and tried to treat them.

Why did so many children have to die? Because his mom owned military grade weapons. The @GOP now says "mental health"...

@GOP 3...if we just have treatment, there will be no mass shootings.

Adam Lanza had treatment. And tiny children were massacred. And the @GOP Did. Not. Care. They did NOTHING. Those kids should be giggling middle-schoolers right now, soon ready for high school....

@GOP 4...instead, they were slaughtered, bodies thrown upon the piles and piles of innocent Americans massacred because the @GOP cares more about people being allowed to play - and YES, all they do is play - with military grade weapons than they do about children, mothers, fathers...

@GOP 5...I can think of nothing more evil in American history than the @GOP standing by, watching so much death, and blaming everything else - but NEVER proposing a bill to deal with what they say is the problem.

They shrugged when children were massacred. And that is unforgivable.
