Sue Klebold on her reaction to the Columbine massacre: WATCH
Sue Klebold, the mother of one of the teenage killers in the infamous Columbine High School massacre, says it took a tragedy for her to have any awareness of mental health issues.
❝ “At the time, I was not aware that there were signs,” said Susan Klebold at the St. Clair College Centre for the Arts. “This is one of the reasons I speak … No one put the pieces together.”
Klebold visited Windsor as the featured guest at a Breakfast of Champions event held by the Windsor-Essex County branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association.
Before an audience of hundreds, Klebold described her reaction to the massacre, including months of denial, attempts to reach out to the families of the victims, being hated and blamed by her community, being named in dozens of lawsuits, and — eventually — education on mental health issues.
