A prosecutor on Thursday repeated her criticism of the parents of a boy who is accused of killing four students at a Michigan school, saying their actions went “far beyond negligence” and that a charging decision would come by Friday.
“The parents were the only individuals in the position to know the access to weapons,” Oakland County prosecutor Karen McDonald said. The gun “seems to have been just freely available to that individual.”
Ethan Crumbley, 15, has been charged as an adult with two dozen crimes, including murder, attempted murder and terrorism, for a shooting Tuesday at Oxford High School in Oakland County, roughly 30 miles (50 kilometers) north of Detroit.

It’s ridiculous.
It’s time parents were held responsible for what their kids spoon. Maybe it will make them start paying attention instead of allowing them to become ferals.
Yep - if they had done that, they could've raised enough money on GoFunkMe to hire a top notch lawyer, AND buy a couple of million dollar homes...
\sarc
By this logic Josef Stolen is responsible for his son’s crimes.
would this same “logic” be applied if a kid was involved in a dui and his/her parents drank?
Sure, the way it went down is “hey junior! I got a gun and here’s the bullets and stuff...
For that matter they ought to also arrest and indict the school administrators who met with this lunatic kid and his parents just a few hours before he went on his killing rampage. Would love to know what information the school had on this kid and ended up doing nothing when they had the chance to intervene effectively. Suspect the kid let be known he had guns and intended to kill. They could have called the police and had him arrested for making terrorist threats. IMHO these school officials are afraid that if they take action, the parents will sue and that would affect their careers. They need to grow a pair.
Inane analogy thread of the decade here for sure.
The new angle is, that it’s somehow tied to Trump because she once wrote him a letter
Has the Waukesha killer been charged with terrorism yet? Hate crime?
They knew he was having “issues” at school because of the two-hour parent conferences. Yet they bought the gun and bullets and showed him how to use them. Within less than a week he’s involved in this.
Nope.
But these parents had pro-Trump social media posts. This will change things. They'll see the hammer brought down against them.
No question about it!
Just as soon as Cops are responsible when their kids kill with Cop Guns.
Not at all comparable to Joseph Stalin. Parents are responsible for the actions of their minor children, and can be held criminally or civilly responsible if there was negligence.
He would have gotten off with 75k bail
If his parents didn’t keep the liquor locked up and let the kid go out drunk yes. Especially if the kid was on Facebook bragging about it.
It’s not always a parents fault, but a lot of time it is, one way or another, fair or not, parents were financially responsible.
When I was growing up the most terrifying words in the world “wait til your father gets home”
White, black, or hispanic those words struck terror into the hearts of all.
No, just Passing While Parading.
