FULL TITLE: 'If you're going to raise a murderer, you're going to take responsibility:' Murdered girl's family sues juvenile killer's parents
The father of a 12-year-old girl killed by a teenage boy has filed a lawsuit against the boy's parents for negligence.
Anthony Pasquale filed the lawsuit against the parents of his daughter Autumn's murderer, Justin Robinson, in Gloucester County Superior Court on September 23, according to NJ.com.
'If you're going to raise a murderer, you're going to take responsibility for it,' said Kathleen Bonczyk, Anthony Pasquale's attorney for the civil complaint.
Pasquale claims in the lawsuit that Robinson's parents, Anita Saunders and Alonzo Robinson, should have known that their son was troubled and should have sought treatment for him.
Specifically, the lawsuit claims the parents should have been aware that their son was 'possibly engaging in the theft of bicycles' and had been negatively affected by witnessing domestic abuse in their home.
Robinson, 16, was sentenced to 17 years in prison this month after pleading guilty to aggravated manslaughter and admitted to strangling the Clayton Middle School student to death in October last year.

Good —
Makes sense to me. If you’re not doing your best to raise your son to be a good man, than you are negligent and partly responsible for how he turns out.
Not long enough. Give him more time.
Good for them!
Make ‘em pay with everything they have.
Taking a look at the perp I’m not sure they have anything to pay unless we can garnish their ebt cards.
Great! So in 17 short years (but probably much less) a mere 30-something, muscle-ripped Robinson will get released from prison as a hardened ex-con; institutionalized, angry and unemployable. A pure predator.
You’re right. We should kill him instead. Mich cheaper and a permanent solution to boot.
More black on white crime. We have got to teach our children that blacks can no longer be trusted. And until the black community starts demanding proper behavior from their kids, that will never change
Good. I doubt there’s anything to get, but make the legal point anyway.
not good...
you are basically saying that others are responsible for the acts of the individual...
i raised 3 sons...
no way, no how, i knew what they were doing from day to day..
i did have an insight as to their mental dispositions..
but i ask all of you here, who truly can see into the soul of another person????
you can guess, and second guess, but there is not a person on this site that can see into another person’s psychie..
if you can, please give me a clue..
if you cannot, and you stand by passing laws against possible crimes...
call the communist party, they would love to hear from you
