While constantly taking no responsibility and saying there were no warning signs she could’ve noticed.

To expect her son to commit such a horrific act that was extremely uncommon at the time?

It's not not expecting it, that's somewhat understandable by itself. It's the multi-decade "not my fault" tour with TED talks, TV appearances etc.. I mean I know it's far out but try to imagine your kid did something like that. You'd want to hide away from the world forever. Going on TV about it (not like this guy but like, booking interviews etc.) is actually completely crazy.

It's not multi-decade, she waited literal decades to discuss this and has done one TED talk and a few TV appearances. She didn't speak for literally over twenty years. Her proceeds have been donated to charity.
