FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The Parkland school shooter was a child once, a baby-faced kid who posed for pictures with his family and smiled dutifully, a little boy enrolled in day care like so many other children his age.
But still, he was a problem. He got into fights, barely spoke and sometimes acted like an animal.
“I should have done a little more, to make him a better person,” said Anne Marie Fischer, former director of Young Minds Learning Center, the preschool attended by Nikolas Cruz.
