The parents were fully aware the kid had problems, yet after he acts on his impulses their reaction is to bail, grab $4K from the ATM and head to a hideout. Both have had criminal charges in the past, they should know better.
And after a teacher saw the kid searching for information about ammunition the mother’s text to him was ““LOL I’m not mad at you,” Jennifer Crumbley texted her son. “You have to learn not to get caught.”
Parents of the year. Now the whole family is in jail, probably a good thing.
My opinion -
First, remember the [lying] media is reporting the “facts”.
Second, the parents may have been in denial of their son’s mental illness / reality for a long time. “Oh he’ll grow out of it ...” ... remember when we were growing up, so and so in the neighborhood was crazy, grew up and now he’s a US Senator,” etc. As I commented elsewhere, if they were in denial, it would be similar to parents denying a drug addicted child has a serious drug addiction.
Third, there are a lot of bad parents, and these may be in that club.
Fourth - I’ll wait for the trial. The fact that they appear to have done some suspicious things points to guilt. But we also heard that Kyle crossed state lines with a fire arm and he shot an unarmed paramedic.
