Psychologist: Florida Shooting Suspect Nikolas Cruz Showed Many Warning Signs | Megyn Kelly TODAY

After Megyn Kelly shares a powerful public service message about school shootings, school psychologist Tom Kersting says “we have to empower our kids” to bring warning signs to the attention of parents and authorities. In the studio audience, a substitute teacher at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School says she’s on “pins and needles” to learn the identities of students killed.

Psychologist: Florida Shooting Suspect Nikolas Cruz Showed Many Warning Signs | Megyn Kelly TODAY

[@CWdudeyo]

Taking the “crazy kids” off of gun lists will not prevent them from getting guns or bombing schools. Unfortunately, this kid fell through the cracks as both his adoptive parents are deceased. He may have had no anchor after his adoptive mother died. So sad.

[@megganbeck6772]

These discussions make me sick. It’s just talk. No action.

[@UdoADHD]

OBAAT definitely not a discussion about video games and psych class

[@megganbeck6772]

If I tell you what we should do you’ll shut me out. If the kid had a knife he wouldn’t have killed so many. I grew up in another country where regular citizens don’t have guns. It’s a shame that some times people would stab, but no such thing as a mass shooting. Like I said I’m American but I was born and raised in a country that don’t allow regular citizens to have guns. But when I moved back to the states when I was 19 I got a real culture shock. People here have too many guns. What do you expect when you have this many guns? It’s just sad nothing will get better here. Because you will forget it in a week or so. It’s what ALWAYS happens. Not smart enough to change it then obviously people are going to continue to die from gun violence.

[@markxray318]

Kittyin Indy correct.

[@humbertogomez2225]

Kittyin, I would expect more random deaths. According to your logic there should be at least 100 million deaths by shooting, and that is clearly not the case. Grow a brain.

[@humbertogomez2225]

Kittyin Indy. You won me over. I'll follow you when you storm Congress with axes and pitchforks.

[@rewer]

You guys forgot the Las Vegas shooter, he shows no sign of psychology illness, no warning sign, coming from a perfectly normal and healthy family. To "predict" mass shooter is actually very difficult and near impossible. It's like wishfully thinking to predict crime and arrest them before they commit the crime.

[@paulranalli3367]

For every mass shooter that doesn't show signs, there are 5 that do....

[@CWdudeyo]

For those of you that think that who they told you was the Vegas shooter was actually the shooter. SMH.

[@henrybarefoot4637]

rewer so ban auto rifles

[@adamada101]

rewer I think it's more about gun control then it is a psychological guessing game. Americans need to realize the military already has them out gunned lol no one down there needs assault rifles.

[@patriciaokelley187]

rewer it's not the mentally ill people who are doing the shooting rampages. It's usually very smart organized people who can stay under the radar until they are shooting the people. The truly mentally ill people can't stay under the radar.

[@MARINVIEW]

That is a creepy message. I grew up in former communist country and every kid was subjected to a physiological test on yearly basis.

[@thejen24]

When a white man murders innocent people he was bullied, his parents died, he's alone, grieving and a hurting lone wolf. He's mental health. The psycho therapists and psychologists come out of the woodwork. You NEVER hear TERRORIST, THUG, OR EVEN MURDERER. IT'S INCREDIBLE.

[@asho345]

Because white men are inherently good and have just lost their way.

[@adamwasfirst2441]

William Smith 75 percent of isis victims were muslims so what’s your point???

[@adamwasfirst2441]

William Smith and you think your religion is perfect??? a religion who promotes in church that’s god died for your sins is a weak and false and you see the consequences peoples become evils do wherever they want and expect to go to heaven

[@thevintagefetcher]

Serious question to help me understand the argument. Have there been any black mass school shooters? I don't know of any, but it may be under reported.

[@afurtiveflower]

6:47 Okay, no. This kid did not get the idea to shoot up a school from playing a videogame, we've already had this debate. Let's focus more on solutions and less on escape goats.

[@Someonelowkey]

they're getting paid from the NRA so thats why, gotta make up reasons. disgusting. I swear to you if it was a muslim they wouldn't have said anything about mental health

[@afurtiveflower]

Obviously. Can't risk getting called a racist bigot!

[@annchovey2089]

I thought only white people could be called racist. The shooter was Hispanic or Latino

[@Be_Nice1200]

Clara Romano- But it does feed and influence his fantasy, yes we've had mass shootings before video games even existed, like Colombine, but it's not like videogames have nothing to do with it, they play only one color, of a grand portrait of several colors

[@Dem0n]

No one said that, the guy said people are becoming more desensitised by violence in the media, particularly violent video games. This played a small factor in him being able to pull the trigger on kids, because you have to keep in mind as well this guy was mentally ill, on drugs as well which stopped him from thinking straight at all in the moment. And I'm saying this as someone who's played violent video games for as long as I can remember, trust me I'm not against violent video games.

[@JUGGERNAUT____]

So a gun sits on a table... kills no one. Kids ostracized and bully a kid to the bone and that is not addressed.

[@soju69jinro]

Wow... using video games as an excuse of crimes. I play video games, yet i've never shot a gun.

[@alleycat8473]

soju69jinro yeah, that’s just stupid. They have the same games in Japan and Europe. It’s the trillions of guns they don’t have.

[@becka57986]

Lol

[@mikebtrfld1705]

soju69jinro not yet

[@becka57986]

Mike Buttfild 🙄 um no...what do you mean “not yet” give him the benefit of the doubt. Instead of thinking the best in people, you automatically assume the worst. Be nice! 🤤

[@justachocolateman1623]

Mike Buttfild You're a anonymous, your opinion holds as much weight as trying to hold water in a piece of paper.

[@Candace-M-]

I'm glad I got to experience first hand working around teenagers who are troubled. Even as a substitute, I spent time encouraging them and telling them I believe in them. They were SHOCKED when I was positive towards them and they always came around me knowing that at least somebody believes they can be and do better. There are parents who are afraid of their kids and won't discipline them! Teachers who dont care about their students, and students who don't care how they treat each other. We need to know the signs of a very troubled person so they can get help. Real help.

[@bootysauce_]

How about stop bullying? Everyone talks about guns but I hear no one talking about bullying

[@tubetop123]

BootySauce its almost impossible. Study showed all victims of bullies are also bullies themselves

[@imtheboss1826]

Here in Fla they just passed a bill to give victims of bullies school vouchers. So the bully gets to stay and the victim must change schools and leave their friends and teachers. Sad.

[@annchovey2089]

The school doesn’t want to kick the bully out because they lose money when students aren’t at school. The know the victims will be accepted at other schools but not do much for he bully. Sad.

[@dustinoflynn]

Don't you get it? You are the only fking country in the world with automatic weapons and guns of all sorts on every block. You are the only fking country in the world with regular mass shootings. How complex do you need to make it?

[@bobbyswanson3498]

actually health classes still teach about bullying and everyone still talks about it. Theres been talk about it for years now

[@ciaobella8257]

There has to be X-ray machines or metal detectors...this is insane. All school should have all doors locked and have each entrant screened all day every day... all mentally ill students need to be closely monitored...

[@misshglady4lyfe]

CIAOBELLA That's what I'm saying...

[@ImSoPinoyPride]

He wasn't even attending that school at the time. If he really wanted to shoot up the school, metal detectors wouldn't have prevented him from getting in especially if it's a large enough high school. They would have to place those detectors at every entrance and have it all being monitored. Schools and states wont provide that kind of funding. He could have easily slipped in or shot the security guards to get in even at that.

[@itskellie4006]

But a locked outside door would have definitely slowed him down. Especially if what is being said about him shooting people outside of the school before he even entered.

[@ImSoPinoyPride]

There were classroom doors that were locked and people were hiding too, as he was going through the halls shooting. You know what he did? He shot through the locks and glass. That's not going to stop him. I've been to many high schools, since I'm a substitute teacher, and there are always ways to get into the buildings because students are always finding ways to ditch or get by unseen. There's not many campus monitors or security either. As long as they time it right, any student can get in school buildings without being seen.

[@ImSoPinoyPride]

If you look into the V-tech shooting, there was an investigation regarding the mental health system and officials that were in charge of giving him treatment. It was found that the system failed him. That happens more often than not. The healthcare system in the U.S. is geared to make profit. A lot of patients are routienly just prescribed medication/drugs at an alarming rate because psychiatrists and insurance companies care more about $$$. It's also happening in hospitals. It's a shame and the politicians are being paid off to support a lot of these major companies. 18 shootings in 2018 all by angry males.

[@marlenebodner6120]

This young man was abused and broken. I wrote an essay to my teacher at twelve describing physical abuse from my father when I was four. I waited for two weeks. No one addressed it. Wake up read what abuse does to a child.

[@nicbleu]

American will never understand that they think the kid is evil or possessed by the devil or something like that, hilarious

[@elkaedoubleu]

This is what bullying comes down to

[@thomasmatthewharris1980]

That's no excuse

[@lodiedodie5046]

People get bullied all the time and nobody kills because of it... Only crazy people do crazy things.

[@wstevewells]

SO IT IS NOT ABOUT GUNS ? REALLY !!!!!!!!! I AM REALLY GLAD THAT MY CHILDREN DO NOT ATTEND SCHOOL IN AMERICA !!!!

[@annaconda78]

I could never live in a country and rise my kids were guns are legal how is this even possible the same with putting kids in jail and prison in Sweden we NEVER PUT KIDS IN PRISON UNDER 18 the laws in U.S. are so screwed up 🤯🤬😱

[@danielkivett-v2963]

Anna Froby- Well its a good thing you don’t live here and don’t have to worry about that now do ya

[@Smokeless1167]

You have had mass shootings and a school shooting in Sweden before, just to a much lesser extent. And guns are legal is Sweden. You are a troll or just very ignorant.

[@annaconda78]

Russian Bott yes Im so glad that i live in a peacefull happy place but Im also care about others that lives in another countries then ours here in Scandinavia and think the system in the us is totaly f***** up such a developt country like the us should be better than it is like death peanalty its a big shame for such a country like the us and every one have diffent opinions and this is mine

[@annaconda78]

Smokeless1167 No not a troll this is my opinon and we dont have mass shotings i reast years more Guns ( non reg Guns) are in our country but we here dont have guns except for hunting and so on its very very hard to get a Gun here Im born in stockholm and i have never felt afride as a Young woman and now a bit older and nor afride for my kids at all so if someone herr is s troll ist not me

[@Danc571]

You are so lucky. I've always admired the Nordic countries and lately, I've really been wishing that I lived there. The policies are sane, they value human beings, and the quality of life is so much better.

[@reececlarke8527]

The Sandyhook video was great but let's agree kids like that exist the world over. In every other country however they do not have access to guns of any kind especially assault rifles. By all means address mental illness and society factors but first and foremost, address what enables these people (not just kids - Las Vegas) to commit mass murder.

[@bigfan1041]

By all means put some restrictions on guns as far as I care, but as long as kids are growing up in unstable unloving environments some of them will lash out in terrible ways by any means possible.

[@Mr.Looooong]

2:19 Deadass, did not even notice him...

[@EntrigenT]

The shooter isn't the victim.

[@EntrigenT]

They are talking about this topic to get views. They will talk more about the murderer than the people that died because it means more views and commercial profit. They are not preaching a gospel to stop the problem.

[@swimmarfishy]

[@Smokeless1167]

[@jhoe164]

Robin Harris copycat shootings in the US are an issue, it’s like a cycle. They also don’t allow you to own AR’s over there

[@anikatri]

I think Michael Moore had it right in „Bowling for Colombine“. It’s this mixture of keeping people constantly scared of on another to consume together with a very violent culture and a dangerous Pharma industry. Just how many kids are on Ritalin? How many adults have anxiety there? I have never seen so many people diagnosed with a mental illness than while I lived in the US. That has to be man made.

[@jyyleerfanaccount2238]

I know I’m in 9th grade and I’m terrified going to school anymore. I never NEVER will until we change something!!!

[@candyandy3477]

It’s interesting to think about that research of the targets used for practice and courage to actually shoot a gun.. because if that’s a fact potentially people who plan on self harm or to others, and have the experience of shooter games or even shooting activities, will have (to say) the courage to go with their plan. And it’s not saying shooter games lead to shootings.. it’s saying that it may encourage a human to actually pull the trigger and then again every human is different. There is also the psychological aspect where if a diagnosis for say schizophrenia is present, hallucinations and delusions may play a part as an encouragement to complete this type of crime.

[@ZaneDoug711]

maybe they should have built a wall around the school

[@onefatstratcat]

if that what it takes to keep the kids safe.. then so be it

[@arealnigga8905]

[@FathomlessJoy]

I been through a lot. I understand a lot. I can understand someone's mind clicking, and in rage/anger/resentment/jealousy, etc. going off. Even killing people. What I cannot grasp is something in someone's mind clicking and they take a year, at least, and plan and plot and premeditate to go off. It makes no sense.

I have a very intelligent daughter who has Aspergers. She has been in various institutions because of her sometimes depressive and aggressive behavior, has had a lot of help and many years of therapies. She is now a young adult and now lives semi independently, but all in all, little has changed. She ends up falling into the same pattern over and over and I just hope she never hurt anyone. It is a very complicated difficult problem and I wonder if we are able to solve it in our current demanding society with ever increasing individualization.

[@CumberlandOutdoorsman]

I live in America, and am a responsible gun owner. I own mostly hunting and sporting guns such as bolt action rifles and shotguns. I have fired AR 15's, and AK 47's at the local gun range, and although it was an interesting experience, I never really had the desire to own this type of weapon. No gun I own has ever been used in violence, and never will, and I think I speak on behalf of many thousands of other gun owners. I am not against assault style rifles, I just never had the desire to own one. Keep your guns out of the hands of unauthorized people, lock them away, and always be aware of the potential danger that can be unleashed. If you know someone that shows signs of violent tendencies, and has access to a gun then....... DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Being a responsible gun owner means being a responsible citizen. Life is far too precious.

[@tamaleesen2759]

The bullying starts with that father who out of fun misbehaves and teases that 3 year old son. Adults who do that to that little one. Then that kid starts doing the same with the weaker ones in his class. And then out grows it while growing up. But the ones bullied then comes with a gun and shoots in a school. That father has to stop. That adult needs to be stopped. No kid is born a bully. It starts at home when you conceive a child. It's a huge privilage to create a child and it's a HUGE responsibility too.

The problem is the ADULTS who are in charge of law enforcement, the schools and other places are IGNORING the complaints and doing nothing about it. This is why all of this is happening. I have had it happen to me THOUSANDS of times, and it is rampant in America. We have people who have no business in their jobs they're doing who are incompetent and lazy a****. They need to be flushed out. It is happening on our state government levels and police departments. IT MUST END! This came during the Obama era and decayed society for 8 solid years.

[@diegokjaria5739]

Feminists tell boys they are toxic and evil by nature.

[@ImSoPinoyPride]

That's a better point that people overlook. The common denominator of all these mass school shootings is that they are all males and have been described as outcasts. Part of the issue is identity and what drove these boys to commit these crimes. Both schools and parents need to do a better job of monitoring these students whether it's through therapy or more control of bullying. I've seen many fights and kids being picked on and most teachers won't do anything besides breaking up and suspending students.

[@Lucid925]

I honestly think that's a fantastic start. Not sure how to begin conditioning men to express themselves. I only cry like 1-2 times a year.

I seems Congress does not care about the death of innocent Americans. Who forget Sandy Hook? The founding fathers have deliberately left a clause so that future generations can amend the document whenever necessary. The speaker knows very well in spite of the current laws, so many Americans are dying due to the semiautomatic guns. The 2nd amendment was adopted in 1791, and the overall social formation and challenges we have to day have changed than the time when the constitution was written. Every rational person knows that congress should have adopted new law (1) for mandatory psychological checkup and (2) disallowing the selling of automatic guns to the hunters. Unfortunately, lawmakers are under the control of the NRA, and, sadly, we have to die more.

why

[@dzandbergen2]

Blaming guns is like blaming spoons for Oprah being fat. For Gods sake dont even.

[@hhsjim300]

you are sooo right... guns are the weapon not the problem.... the real problem are that americans are so arrogrant and believe that their country is the best at everything... they can''t bare look at everyone else because they think that they are better at everyone. Canada has better health care... Australia has a great education system and Norway has a really low uemployment number but Americans dont wanna hear that... They just want to hear how their country is great so they become ignorant to common sense. Its not a gun issue because Canada has guns.... alot of places have guns but the USA has the most mass shootings (64% of world) because they are oblivious to facts such as mental health and proper education of how to take care of guns to prevent self harm or anything in that nature

[@kole1ful]

Daniel Zandbergen well if you keep all the spoons away Oprah and she can hardly find any to use to eat, don't you think she'll starve and loose weight?? At least before she finds another means of feeding herself (which might take a while).

[@ImSoPinoyPride]

Common denominator is that these shooters were all males and in some way felt that they were wronged bullied outcasted etc. It's crazy in itself to see all of them at such a young age have all that built up anger and willing to commit these murders. What that says it's more of an issue about society and I think that is correct, Americans do have a superiority complex. Instead of acknowledging that there's a flaw in the mental health and education system, it's more about gun control. However, if people looked into the V-tech shooting, there was an investigation that was found that the mental health system failed him. The neglection by mental health system happens more often than not. The health care system cares more about profit and having people rely on drugs rather than actually finding better ways to improve their coping skills. Even Psychiatrists today would spend less than 15 mins with their patients and would rather prescribe drugs so it increases their profit.

My heart dropped when the boy walked in to the room cause I saw the gun pointed up. I feel sick to my stomach now and my heart hurts. Oml this Country needs help.

[@ajvalentino]

Bugs if your referring to the shooter he was actually latino

[@JohnSmith-gd9zz]

You don’t see this behavior in Europe. It’s not caucasians it’s Americans.

[@idtzel]

AJ MASKELLI he was adopted hes not latin

[@ImSoPinoyPride]

Latino is not a race. There are White Latinos just like there are Black Latinos, just look at Baseball.

I'm a gamer. I know the difference between real and fiction. I like how they blame videos and movies with vilecne.

[@EricaYE6]

*I agree. I played violent video games, watched plenty violence on TV and listened to violent rap music as a kid and I've never even been in a fist fight before. It was just entertainment. Mmm-maybe the wrong kind of entertainment for a kid. But (shrugs), that's what I was into at that time. Not so much now that I'm in my 30's though. Now I listen to jazz, don't play video games anymore and don't care for violent movies anymore either. You really do grow out of that stuff.*

[@shaeshae2038]

Thank you Kelly you are right on

[@indunilB]

America - treat the source of the problem, not the symptoms.

[@IMABEAST191]

It begins with the school security team that need to stop being lazy and do their job. I remember when I was in middle school there would be kids that would take knives and even guns to school they walked straight thru the metal detectors they would off and the security guards would just stand there and do nothing. Every school should have a well trained and armed security team just like every other private school.

[@braydonmiller2500]

Someone needs to call my principles before something bad happens at my school. Elementary school is k-5. Middle school/high school are in the same building 6-12. We haven’t done a lockdown drill since 5th grade and I’m in 8th. But yet we do fire drills so often. I don’t understand....

[@josephkwon3461]

Omg I didn’t realize the warning signs... 🙏🙏 I’m praying for you Florida

[@Sovereign_Citizen_LEO]

Are warning signs a crime? What could they have done?

[@angelstinson2436]

He's already condemned let him go..

[@pattycarol5191]

Omg..just watching that made me scared and sad at the same time.

[@SliceofBread123]

The screams of the kids in the video... that really got to me.

[@tiffanyward6657]

So they say Nikolas Cruz showed many signs.We're is the help for children who have no parents.In Fl,the child can not get medical help,or even food stamps to eat,unless he is working.Does this fall into the mental health,I'm sure he had no medical coverage,at age 19.If a person has so many signs,maybe we need teen centers,were they can live,and get the help they need.Who and what living arrangements do we have in this country for children,maybe 15-24 years old to live safely and get the education,medical care,and food when parents die? Maybe thousands of other children out there in the situation?

[@elizabethbennet4791]

"bring to the attention of an adult" MOST KIDS DO!!!!! IT'S THE ADULTS WHO DO NOTHING!!!!!! WTF WTF WTF

[@toddlavigne6441]

The man makes a very good point about the difference between soldier training in WW1 verses WW2. Canada has as many guns per capita as the US, but a fraction of gun deaths ( per capita ). I think the US has one of the highest rates per capita. Why ?

[@natalialopes719]

This United Stated government needs to be held responsible for every single child and adult that is murdered. These blood of every precious life lost is on their hands.

[@suzukiturbo7211]

Answer my questions 1.why is there reports of multiple shooters by multiple witnesses 2.why does teacher describe shooter in full police uniform who shot at her 3.why is there a drill of the same thing on the same day of all these shootings 4.why is it always ar15 fault when hand guns are the same press trigger 1 bullet comes out u can get 30 round magazine for hand guns so why ban ar15 5.why no cctv footage at these shootings but always is in shop robberies 6.how come there is 20 plus minutes erased on the cctv footage they do have but won't show 7.what difference does it make banning guns cocaine is illegal but I can buy it on most street corners so how will banning guns stop this it won't guns illegal in uk but shot guns are legal does UK have mass killings with shot guns no 8.raising age of gun from 18 to 21 what will that do suddenly at 21 your mental health is fine and you can't do school shootings no 9.i can't understand how so many differences in what happened

[@Yatukih_001]

The most obvious warning was the official ´I am going to become a professional school shooter´one. There are numerous warning signs that a psychosis is about to reach a critical level - one of them is blind acceptance of false beliefs and nonsense like airplanes causing towers to collapse, moon landings, belief in scizophrenia which causes scizoid behavior, delusions about the continents only being 7 in number, delusions about water shortages, global warming being man - made, and so on. Hysteria is a known contributor to warning signs of a mental disorder reaching critical levels. Interestingly, a lot of these mentally ill persons are bullies who become mainstream media news reporters and just go on believing their non sense...and will often say bizzare things like this before they finally break down.

[@pillowbugg]

Schools get the same security a professional football game gets...

[@jenniferbabel4366]

I completely agree with Megyan. Why not have a yearly psychological test for children, just as they do for yearly educational testing. There are many ways you can implement testing for children without them knowing and come to know there feelings about life. The test can be observed yearly and compared to previous year(s) to see if there are changes in responses. There needs to be more actions to prevent tragedies. My heart goes out to everyone.

WoW... chills just went down my Spine watching that video

[@sarkarpiu1]

which song was playing in the background of the video?

It seems if they cared about the boy, they would keep calling FBI to do something .....kids can be cruel, gang up on the loser ..... all these officials were told but did nothing !

[@thehulksmash108]

Racial homogeneity = less homicide. Lower rates of homicide are found in those nations with the highest White population percentages.

[@michaeldwood]

here's the big question for me. so you flag a kid, you keep him from buying a gun. he's still sick. where does he go for help? what is available? how effective is it? can his parents afford it?. do you confine him? and on. it all should be addressed but let's face it folks. there's just no money in it

[@noricoleman8988]

This country by law supports the violent killing of babies in the womb and we pretend it doesn't mean anything. Violence leads to violence, it's a mindset. May we as a society defend our unborn so the born are the value of all human life. My heart goes out to the victims of this senseless taking of life.

[@ThanhDuong-dd9if]

its not the same interviewing some one in person vs watching footage.

[@connormurphy8810]

Now if a teacher had a gun this could have been prevented

[@pbrucpaul]

A very big problem. Law enforcement, by virtue of standing laws, has a difficult time with this
