GOOD MORNING AMERICA'S HOMEPAGE:
gma.yahoo.com/
Its NOT the parents fault. sometimes we forget they lost their kid as well
She lost a monster. Children don’t kill other children. Monsters do.
@Robin Powers Simple American Maybe you should think about why things like this only happen in America and not in Europe or any other continent.
I honestly think she had nothing to do with his decision to kill people, blaming it on the parents is just a easy way to place the blame, they were disturbed
+Kreo King Thank you for being the voice of reason, Mr. King. I feel awful for this woman.
What a disgusting interview, the interviewer did not do her job correct, instead of being patient and understanding she targeted her for using the word harmed instead of killed, it’s not Sues fault one bit and for anyone weather it be someone outside or inside of the Columbine situation is stupid, it was an unfortunate event and you can’t look to place blame
boo hoo hoo. she raised a sociopathic murderer. she deserves to handle a difficult question or two.
She didn't pull the trigger, her son did. stop blaming her.
She should pray her murderous monster’s soul isn’t being tormented for the lives he took. The victims and survivors of Columbine High school deserve so much love and kindness. She isn’t to blame. So she should just stay quiet and stop using mental issue to help alleviate the negative images of her son.
She was a rubbish mother
@@fernandogomes2472 nah. Both parents’ other children turned out all right. Clearly they did something okay. The police should have done a better job monitoring them especially with their previous trouble with the law. Sometimes unfortunately there are children who are born bad seeds. I believe Eric was, and Dylan already had mental issues but was easily vulnerable to Eric’s manipulation. He kind of seemed codependent. I think he got off on being submissive to Eric. We can’t blame parents so easily for something like this, especially not when many psychopaths fool even professionals. Unfortunately, one also can’t be officially diagnosed as a psychopath (antisocial personality disorder) until the age of 18. Prior to that it is only conduct disorder they can be diagnosed with. Only other possible option I can really think of is the constant moving from place to place royally F’d up Eric’s head, but I don’t think it’s fair to blame the parents for that. It’s unfortunately par for the course with a military lifestyle. He was never able to genuinely connect with others, at least not for long before he had to move again. One has to wonder then how could he develop empathy or be able to connect with anyone with such a pattern like that. Plus, one could easily say maybe people should have taken a second look at Stephen King since he wrote Carrie while he was a high school student, but he’s not a crazed psychopath.
What a heartless wrench the interviewer is 😡😡
Tasnim Tahiya
I wish she gets fired
Wench
The woman that is interviewing Sue makes me so mad she is so rude
Its a sad and sick society when people have to blame someone, I dont blame her one bit.
She's milking it now and that is way beyond sick so maybe this is where the fault began, psychopath
@Brendan Cronin
She said he had a mental illness and never noticed?
Not blaming her for his illness but not not knowing your child is sick?
@Brendan Cronin
Do you know what a chemical imbalance is?
@@NDBit agreed. She is completely milking it. Her son wasn’t officially diagnosed and it is assumptions based on the physical evidence but still wasn’t officially diagnosed. She is just using this as an opportunity to salvage her sons image or change her sons image.
Sue Klebold was the only one that came forward and talked about her son Dylan and I ever heard from Eric Harris's family b/c they probbaly went into deep deep hiding b/c they didn't want to deal with public shame***** Nobody knows what happened to them. Its sad that this happened and that Sue didn't see the signs. I am sure she did the best she could but you never know with your kids.
I feel so bad for her.
I don't blame her at all , it wasn't her fault her son is to blame and only him no one else.
Eric Harris is good in your book?
@@flyntflossy3044 I believe they were both good once. Is Sue Eric's mom no this documentary is about Dylan is it not?
@@gothicmatter9123 only him and no one else
Why on Earth would you say I'm sorry? It's wasn't your fault at all.
It's mothers guilt man, in no way shape or form was this caused by her but I'm sure she thinks she's the only person to blame cause she raised him and probably feels guilty about not getting him the help he needed but she didn't know he needed the help until it was to late.
+Sam Littleton that's not true.
+evestar100 how is that not true. You dumb as fuck.
+evestar100 a mother will always feel
Guilt when there child kills them self you POS.
+Sam Littleton You are so vulgar.
I hate how people blame the parents. Obviously looking in we think that anyone one who could shoot up a school must come from a horrible home life but that is not the case at all. Im 18 and I have been through depression and stuff like this and my home like is great and I never have told my parents.
Ive been a depressed teen and a Mom of 3 teens who went thru, or are going thru it now. PLEASE, for yourself, tell someone. There are medications and programs available.
+chubbychuckle there is only so much a parent can do. A mother will always try her hardest for the children she loves, but if they're not getting through, and the child just isn't having it, there's just nothing that's going to help. I absolutely agree with you. Assumptions will only get you so far. Please, if anything should happen, seek help. You will not be seen as weak. You will be seen as the opposite because you took control and didn't allow this to take over your life. It will be seen as brave. I have never been through depression, but I can understand what it's like, though I know living through it is just so much worse.
chubbychuckle in November 2016 through march 2017 I was going thru depression and sadness I almost killed my self but now I feel better and I never told my mom and dad never !
chubbychuckle exactly because our happiness has to come from within.
You’re a retard… lmao you’re disgusting for sympathizing with this self victimizing bitch. You’re a sheep
i got goosebumps and instantly my eyes filled with tears when she admitted that she prayed for her son to die so he wouldn’t hurt anyone else. i have so much respect for this woman.
ky nicole I don’t think she was being sincere when she said that.
Any mother who wishes for her son to die is not a real mother. I believe this is her attitude and that is the underlying reason for Columbine.
Sorry Lale, but that's fucked up.
Lale Arpaci you have to put yourself in her shoes. I think it’s very very judgmental and presumptuous to believe that her attitude is what ultimately caused this. No mother wants their son to die, but she was hysterical and she knew her son was hurting people and wanted it to stop.
@@LaleArpaci watch that scene again and look in her eyes and tell me what you see, horror, guilt, shame, and regret to say and think that, but not fear of people thinking her horrible to think it, we all have loved ones but if it was them or 15 others, and they were the killer I'd wish their death to, and like her then I'd hate myself for that wish.
It's not only her fault, what about the cops who stood outside listening to all the kids get shot to death?
+heather burns look at the mental health care in this country, its abhorrent and non existent, even if they recognize a problem, they'll most likely just recommend psychotropic meds, I've seen people declare themselves 5150 and be turned away from hospitals because they didn't fit the criteria for a 5150 hold, and that said person then killed themselves, its very sad all around
Training was different but I still think they were cowards.
Wee Fishy although they weren't allowed to enter the school unless swat team was there.....I wouldn't call them cowards since they did have a shootout with Dylan and Eric and the cops still held there ground and if they did enter....the would have been breaking protocol....
It's not worth for anyone to risk own life over some stranger's lives unless they are their own flesh and blood.
@@pavillonll3626
Protocol over saving lives?
Dylan was bullied a lot. There is real evidence regarding this. It's too bad innocent people had to suffer because of the bullies. Bullying causes serious mental health issues.
N Rosario That’s exactly what I was about to say
No one wants to talk about the cause. They wait for the end to blame the victim instead of society itself.
Yes he was a VICTIM OF BULLYING SOCIETY.
This interviewer is TERRIBLE. You don’t think that the mom probably has blamed herself for it ever since it happened? It’s not easy being a parent. You can try your ABSOLUTE best to raise your kids to be the BEST human beings ever but it’s easier said than done....it’s heartbreaking seeing her go through this because you can tell what a wonderful woman and Mom she is.
@Robin Powers the child made his own decisions no reason the blame the mom. also there is no such thing as a great mom.
Dunno, 99.9% of parents with depressed children manage to not have them shoot up a school. They're abject, absolute failures and trying to downplay the role bad parenting played in mental health will just have this happen again and again.
@@lehna9253I don't know what you are talking about. My mom was great.
I have no respect for Diane Sawyer as a journalist in this segment. She handled this very poorly.
She was paid to but I lost respect for her for accepting it.
@@DNSMLT regardless of whether she was paid or not, she failed to remain objective.
Dylan was/is responsible for his actions not his mother
I read sue's book a year ago and I immediately thought of her when florida shooting happened. Poor woman, I still don't know how she survived this ordeal. She's stronger than most, definitely stronger than I could ever be if I found myself in her situation. She also went bankrupt because of all the lawsuits from victims families, went through a divorce and beat cancer. Too much sorrow for one life. Sue, if you ever read this.. i hope you have finally found peace. Hope you're somewhat happy and healthy again. You are a true inspiration. Take care...
Bette Davis i’m glad the familys sued her what about there family’s what did mommy and daddy not give Dillon enough attention so now she gets on the TV to tell it cmon man she was an alcoholic she wrote it in the book she’s a POS is what I’m trying to say but lastley really think
About this..... i’ve never met an idiot that calls himself/herself an idiot...she’s a woman of course she wants the world to feel bad for her
I appreciate this, Sue is my aunt and I’ll tell her kind, sympathetic people like you still exist and respect her 💞
@@dongotti6080 you are so ignorant
@@dongotti6080 that's such a disgusting thing to say. Dylan was 17 soon to turn 18. I am sure you were once a teenager or are one, don't you know how guarded teens can be? Parents hardly get to know what their child is feeling, doing, thinking when they reach that age. She is not to blame. Everyone who knows sue personally has stated that she was a great mother and she was completely involved in both her son's lives. Brooks brown mentions this in his book as well, Sue and Tom were great parents. Kids don't always turn out the way you want them to be.
@@kaliarafferty6742 please tell your aunt I’m so sorry for all she’s gone through. My husband and I have a lot of sympathy and love for this woman. I can’t even imagine the grief she’s gone through yet she still believes in God and that kind of faith we all should have
May the mother lay blameless for the son’s actions
this woman is angel, God bless you
I am 40 and I have found out in very difficult ways that you don't always know people(family or friends) no matter how many years you known them.
pure, gold heart, shes so inspiring
katherine baby I
I don't know, I think it's an act.
Lale Arpaci it’s not, it really isnt
Does Sue Kleibold:
a) Pin most of the blame on the other killer.
b) Blame society - gun control, bullying, mental health.
c) Secure victim status for herself.
d) Take responsibility for poor parenting and oversight of her killer son.
e) All of the above - except d)
(The answer is e.)
I am half way through her book. I can't stop reading it. It's the most intense thing I have ever read. It's gut wrenching and very emotional.
If being blamed for the murders wasn’t bad enough, she and the parents of Eric Harris had to pay so much money in damages to the families of the victims. Imagine dealing with the pain of losing your child, dealing with the pain of losing who you thought your child was, dealing with the guilt for what your child did, and then dealing with financial ruin all at the same time.
@deandra138 so they should pay to the families of thuse that HER SON KILLED that's the least she can do serves her right she shoukd just shut up stop talking move away like Eric's parents did. Stop baking money off deceased ppl
Read her book: “A Mother’s Reckoning” by Sue Klebold. I just finished it and it really provides you with a detailed description of how she handled the shooting and the effects felt afterward. She just plain and simply raised Dylan the best way she knew how, and her son made his own choices.
The interviewer is to judgy.
I feel so bad for Ms. Klebold. It must be really awful to live with the fact that her son was a murderer. She is is NO way, shape or form at fault for what he did.
"'My Heart ♡ Out to You!'", Sue Klebold!!! "hank-You", 4 finding the healing courage 2 step out, doing interviews, speaking out, writing your book, doing seminars, helping 2 give a degree of understanding, insight.
Where can i see the full interview i missed it yesterday
+zoey wagner ABC has it posted to the 20/20 page, but right now, you can only access it if your cable will let you (I have xfinity, but for some reason, I can never watch any of the stuff on ABC). If not, you have to wait a week
Omg the look on her face when saying she prayed for him to die. That's legitimate heartwrenching distress, pain, personal disgust, and so much guilt. I'm personally so thankful that she stepped forward to speak.
This woman is so articulate and lovely. It's heartbreaking to think how society has been so judgemental and cruel towards her.😥
She has every right to have feelings and use her tools to cope. God Bless this lady and her family.
Damnit Diane .... Sue Klebold isn't a "grey haired woman", her hair is silver. There is a difference. YOU are most likely the grey haired woman but that weekly salon trip keeps us guessing. Silver hair is so pretty.
Speaking of which; not many women are able to make gray or silver hair look stylish, but Meryl Streep managed to do that in "The Devil Wears Prada."
I find it interesting that Eric Harris parent's never have come forward about it
I love Sue, she is very brave to step up to talk.
She is amazing and I can't believe people blamed HER for what Dylan did :(
You’re a retard… lmao you’re disgusting for sympathizing with this self victimizing bitch. You’re a sheep. Do more research about how she was received in the community
To the people commenting about her lack of tears and her "whiny" sounds..... This woman lost her son in the most horrible way imaginable. If she acted the way she felt about this whole situation, she would literally be crying 24/7. When I'm super sad and can't cry anymore tears, I find I get really whiny, making crying sounds even if I'm not physically crying tears.
STFU
@@FBD36 shut ur loose ass up
She is a brave woman, and she deserves respect.
I agree
The word brave is tossed around a lot these days for things that may or may not truly qualify; this was brave. Anyone who judges this woman is a fool. Imagine having to live your life repenting for the sins committed by not just another person but a person you loved. Sue Klebold is a remarkable woman and I am extremely grateful and in awe of her for sharing her story. May she find whatever peace she can.
I to have a story that happened with my son, i know how this woman feels. Mine happened when he was 12 and i was 35. I am now 61 and i have never gotten over it to this day. The guilt never stops. It eats you alive for the rest of your life.
I want to give this woman a huge hug. I feel so bad for the terror she is living through.
Man I feel so sorry for this woman. She didnt deserve this Bs
I can’t imagine what it’s like for Mrs. Klebold. That was her son and she still loves him. She’s one of my heroes.
I appreciate the fact that she’s openly admitting what happened and coming from the angle of ‘don’t let what happened in my family happen in yours.’ There are too many people who would deny deny deny
Diane Sawyer was very hard on Sue I think. I feel so much for Sue, not knowing what her son was capable of.
It's just like what's the point of asking her questions when you're just going to not believe her?
This poor lady. God help her. And praise her for speaking about this. Can only hope she further healed from this interview and excellent job by Ms. Sawyer.
This is a remarkable woman.
Sad to see everyone in the comments saying she isn't at fault. She admits herself in Part 2 of this interview that she should have dug more, shouldn't have let other huge red flags go...Eric might have still done something terrible, but had she stepped up her parenting, gotten him to a therapist, maybe got to know his friends, the parents of his friends, looked around his room every now and then, Dylan wouldn't have been a part of this.
Unlike many parents, Sue takes responsibility for her son's actions. She shows remorse and love towards the victims and their families

Sue teaches us parents a valuable lesson, when your a teenager you hide things from the world especially your parents, sue is amazingly loving and I couldn’t imagine loving and raising a baby boy who turned out to commit something so horrific I look at my little 4 year old and how much I love him and if he did something like this I know I would be so conflicted like sue.
Yeah, not her fault. Kids really do keep secrets from their parents. Things the parents would never think their child would do or that’s on their mind. They won’t show signs. But sometimes kids might show a sign but it’s hard for parents to admit. Anyone who dislikes her from what her child did, she not the only one in this boat. Like so many kids keep stuff hidden. It’s important to always keep an open door for communication with them.
I had the weirdest dream the other night . I was at the klebold's household and the doors were opening slowly by themselves and just slamming hard . It happened twice . Just curious to know has this ever happened . ?
The people whose loved ones died must deal with the horrific tragedy that their kids are gone. However, the kids died innocent. This woman must know her child died a as an evil murderous monster.
where can we see the resto of it
+Pucca VDlove You had to watch in on TV.
abcnews.go.com/2020
At a certain point a person is responsible for their own decisions. The responsibility for this horrific act rest solely on the people who committed the act. You can't see what's in someones heart and mind, not all people who have evil in there hearts keep detailed plans tucked under their beds and further if a child seems mature and well rounded what parent would question that child's motive?
That being said, parents need to let their children know that their bedroom their laptops, phones, backpack, car or anywhere else are subject to search by you the parent at anytime for any reason. It's not an invasion of privacy it's parenting and it's also for your child's safety to know exactly what they are up to. If they expect it, trust me they may not like it but it won't be a surprised.
We are all imperfect and any of us can miss something. This was not this poor woman's fault, most parents don't have to teach a child that it's wrong to murder innocent people we know it from the minute we are born. Also most people who wish to harm them selves have no interest in harming others. These situations involve a very specific and rare personality. I feel for this woman.
Just keep in mind. Always look for changes in your child's personality, their is no such thing as a small personality change. Get your child help even if they resist and if need be call the police or proper authority for help.
I cant imagine the shame she feels. Imagine your child, your little you, enjoying hurting other people. She isn't to blame, she seems like an amazing mother, who's son was an awful boy. I can't imagine the strength it took to come forward, after all the hate she got.
Sue Klebold seems like a lovely lady. Most kids in High School have issues that no one can suspect.. geezus. I do hope Sue can move on , How can Sue know what her son was thinking let alone killing students... People are so ignorant..
For money, evidently - it is beyond disgusting that she seems to be milking this now
It's been like 2 years since this interview
Susan looks like Dylan 😢
I have read Sue's book, and there was really no way she could have known what would happen. Her son was disturbed, and most of all secretive, as only a teenage boy can be. I respect her for speaking out about it so maybe others can learn from it.
I'm glad this woman has come forward and has spoken, I've always wondered about these two families, The shame and guilt and sadness that couldn't be expressed, the hatred from the entire country, I've always felt bad for them knowing that they had to suffer in silence as no one cares for the family of monsters. This woman prayed for her child to be dead, to stop him from hurting more people, that is unimaginable pain
I want to know where the proceeds of the book mentioned in this interview went...to the victims? Or, is this just an infomercial to enrich this "grieving" mother?
Did the mother ever have a funeral for her son? That would’ve been very hard I bet. 😢😢
I don't blame Sue...she has lived all these years blaming herself in agony and torture...she has paid the punishment for a crime she did NOT commit, and I sincerely believe that by talking and raising awareness, maybe she can rid herself of a tiny bit of that overwhelming guilt that she probably has felt this whole time.
I simply can NOT imagine all of that torture.
I can only imagine what life is like for the parents. Is it really their fault?
Did they hold a gun to the kids head and tell him to go that ?no. She obviously cares greatly, I know from experience no matter how wonderful your home life is, is not a guarantee you will turn out " respectable. " doesn't mean you won't end up with a mental health problem, or bring harm to yourself and other, I hope she finds peace. I'm seeing a lot of hurtful comments pointed at her claiming she's faking but when's he said if her sons the one hurting people she pray he dies, that right there say a lot. This woman is in serious pain.
+shannon fraser I agree.
+2degucitas thanks good to know im not the only one
I’m very sorry that Mrs Klebold had to suffer consequences of what her son did because I know she’s not at fault. According to her TED talk she believed her son was suicidal and the signs Are not always obvious. So I don’t blame her for what happened. She’s being blamed for her son’s sins and I wish people would stop
It's not her fault Diane Sawyer!
I find it inappropriate for her to be giving Ted talks and writing books after her son committed this heinous mass shooting. Her emphasizing on that this can happen go anyones children. No. He clearly gave signs that he was violent. He posted threats after threats online that he wants to murder everyone. She knew about it. But instead, she ignored it. If you are a dedicated good parents, I'm sorry, you would not ignore it.
I find it odd that Diane sawyer wanted this interview if her goal was to berate and humiliate the interviewee
I think Eric changed Dylan from a sad depressing Teen to a angry killer
Absolutely
What's interesting is how no one discussing how much trouble thise young men were getting in with the police. Basically it was all covered up by their parents and the police. So tragic that no one was truly paying attention.
Also the interview seemed very judgie
#StopTheBullying
She has nothing to feel ashamed about she did nothing wrong it was Eric and Dylan people need to stop blaming her Dylan and Eric are the ones who killed all of thoes people not Sue and people ask why did she whit 17 years to speck out well how about Eric's mom she hasn't spoken out yet and it will be 19 years in like 2 months on 4/2019 I feel bad for the parents who lost thier kids and the kids who where shoot and injured but it's not her fault
maybe one of these days eric harris parents will come forth
I think they need to eventually. I don’t blame Sue, but Harris’s parents have some explaining to do. For one, they did discover a pipe bomb in Eric’s room before the massacre ever happened. Most of the explosives were hidden in his room and Harris’s dad even called police after the massacre because he believed his son might be involved. The boy was a textbook psychopath and it’s amazing to see that not much suspicion was raised by Harris’s parents.
@@thedesertrat_9514 > The boy was a textbook psychopath
except he wasn't. his "psychopathy" was "diagnosed" by an FBI agent who was one of the first to come to the school and his son was involved into the E&D plan, including those videos.
i have no idea who people could ignore so horrible confict on interests.
Probably not gonna happen. I am looking forward to when the 2003 depositions are released in 2027 because in a way; not only would Dylan's dad would be breaking his silence, but also Eric's parents. Speaking of this interview; Diane Sawyer sounded like she was disgusted by Sue Klebold writing a book and even breaking her silence. Some of my friends have told me that Diane Sawyer has always been a total bitch towards the people who were interviewed by her. I also noticed that Diane had a look on her face which would suggest that she either had an awful smell under her nose or she drank a whole bottle of lemon juice.
Sue Klebold isn't to blame. I don't think there's anyone to blame except the killers who took away those lives. Rachel Scott didn't deserve to die. Neither did the other victims.
Question Did she keeps guns in her house.
Moe C No.She and her family were always against guns. All guns were kept at Eric's house
Harmed was the right word to use, this interviewer certainly isn’t the best.
I understand that reporters are supposed to be critical, but in this case the reporters approach is just plain ignorant. The fact that people still question her as a mother shows how little understanding you have of the youth.
It has nothing to do to with their freaking parents. So shut the hell up. Eric was a twisted individual. He was evil. Not necessarily criminally insane. I think he knew the difference between right and wrong he just did not care. He was the mastermind behind the massacre. I believe Dylan was brainwashed and deeply influenced by Eric. They were both outcasts I think bullying was the motive. I don't think bullying is a reason to commit murder lots of people get bullied. I don't agree with what they did. A lot of people get over being bullied. It is something everyone experiences at some point. Violence doesn't solve anything. You should deal with it. And move on anger is only one letter short of danger. I had enough anger to kill the people who hurt me but I seeked professional before it got to this point. And I am happy I did. No need to take my anger out on innocent people.
I know he got all the blame.
I personally would have to disagree. Eric was not an 'evil psychopath' that the media portrays him as. He was a victim of bullying like Dylan and arguably received more of it than Dylan. He was hurting too, he just expressed his pain differently because when you are in pain you either act out (like how Eric basically did almost all the time) or internalize it (like how Dylan did before the shooting). I disagree that Eric was the mastermind behind it all and he 'manipulated' Dylan. Dylan was not the 'depressed follower' like the media portrays him as, he was the depressed accomplice. The influence was not one sided, they influenced each other equally-- a deadly duo. I believe if they had never met, the shooting would have never happened. Dylan mentioned NBK (their code name for the shooting) before Eric, so perhaps it was his idea but we don't know. In the transcripts for the unreleased basement tapes, it actually shows an emotionally vulnerable Eric and an angry and hateful Dylan. Also, they were both equally responsible for what happened regardless of how depressed and suicidal Dylan was. The one thing I always hated about the media's take on the shooters is how they seem to give Dylan a slap on the wrist because he was depressed, but then they continuously shit on Eric because he expressed his pain through anger and aggression/violence. Everybody has their own insight on this whole thing, but this is just my take on it.
Sorry Jen. I know that parents have a great deal in the evolution of a child into a young adult. And I’m going to believe that till I see proof to the contrary.
@@reggiebenson9172
You must be so perfect.
When someone does something only they are to blame...not parents, not bullies, not those that reject them, not God or the devil. We all have choices. I will even say a person with mental illness still knows right and wrong and makes a choice. This parent has suffered a lot because she lost her son and so much more. She is making choices to try to help make a positive difference. That should be applauded. I will say that parents should learn that being nosey and in their kids' business is necessary. It was in monitoring my daughter's phone that I was able to help redirect her when she was making some very bad choices. Those in our care need parental guidance to make good choices. They will know when they are doing wrong and try to hide it. This is why parents must snoop from time to time. Parents must never stop parenting those still in their care...those living with them. There need to be rules and clear expectations and consequences for breaking these.
"I will even say a person with mental illness still knows right and wrong and makes a choice" are you a psychologist, what did you base that statement on?
"the police were there and the helicopters were going over, and I remember thinking; if this is true, if Dylan is really hurting people, somehow he has to be stopped, and then, at that moment I prayed that he would die, that, God stop this, just make it stop, dont let him hurt anybody" she said, and maybe that was their problem........
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree
Nothing is ever our fault. Everything is always someone else's fault.
very sad
The boy dangling from the window is still alive. Has a wife and child.
No one talks about Eric often
Poor woman.
Fire the interviewer. She’s just being so judgmental. Hate the fact that she had that approach. It’s not the mothers fault. Some kids are raised in really good homes but have twisted minds and that’s the reality of it all.
She looked in the wrong direction, she should have looked outside herself into society and It’s ways.
Maybe the doctors should of given MORE PSYCHOtropic drugs.
What did this mother do, to raise such a child? How could she miss all of this?
Sue, just go away!!!!!
Can we blame her?
Ru Py no
Yup
Journalists can be really insensitive think Martin bashir.
U
I think Sue Klebold (and her publically invisible husband) is still in denial about her irresponsibility as a parent to not know what her son was thinking, feeling, and getting up to alone in his bedroom, and in his community, and with his school peers, and his gun collection, for some 18 years. Either she was disinterested, neglectful, unapproachable or had some kooky detachment syndrome with her son to not be able to intuit or rationally investigate the impending craziness that he became. I don't buy a word of her "trying to make sense if it". People who write books about their traumas (and also those who start "foundations" ... "to help prevent this happening to others") are 99% trying to assuage their own sense of guilt about what they "missed". Simple but true .
Dianne Sawyer is so rude. She should be fired. I have much respect for the poor lady.
Respect and love for Sue ❤❤🩹
