Ethan Crumbley’s parents have been charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection to the Michigan school shooting allegedly carried out by their 15-year-old son.
The charges for James and Jennifer Crumbley stem from having purchased a gun for the teen in the days ahead of the deadly shooting.
Their son is already being held without bail on murder and terrorism charges over Tuesday’s Oxford High School rampage that left four dead and seven injured in the deadliest US school shooting of the year.
Officials had hinted for days that the parents — who told their son not to talk to investigators — could face charges.
The dad had bought the semi-automatic 9mm Sig Sauer handgun his son allegedly used just four days earlier, on Black Friday, officials previously revealed.

The parents refused to merely check Ethan’s backpack in the office prior to the shooting spree and after the discovery of the classroom note. Also after leaving the office the mother messages him “Don’t do it.” After hearing about the active shooter, the father rushes home to check up on that newly purchased pistol. Throw the book at them!!!
The principal sends him back to class. WTH???
Even without the purchase, it’s the correct call...
Now the school officials, who met with the parents to discuss the kid just before the shooting and did NOTHING, need to be charged as well...
They are all to blame for doing nothing about a situation that was easily preventable...
5-10 years for all of them...
Death sentence for the kid...
The school said he wasn’t being disciplined and that wasn’t the point of the meeting.
PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) — A prosecutor says the parents of a teen accused of killing four students at a Michigan high school were summoned a few hours earlier after a teacher found a drawing of a gun, a person bleeding and the words “help me.”
Oakland County prosecutor Karen McDonald made the disclosure Friday as she filed involuntary manslaughter charges against Jennifer and James Crumbley, the parents of 15-year-old Ethan Crumbley.
McDonald says Jennifer Crumbley sent her son a text, saying “Ethan, don’t do it.”
These parents seem worse than Adam Lanza’s mom who let her psycho kid access her weapons. Both these kids look crazy as hell in their pics.
Lanza paid with her life, these parents need some sort of smack
This is the sole reason my husband and I opted to not be gun owners while we had minor children living at home. Our three boys (now young men and moved out) have been taught gun safety (they were all Boy Scouts) but you just never know, especially with boys. Our youngest (a girl) is now 16 and when she turns 18 and moves out (and will be legally responsible for herself) we will finally get our first firearm.
And just in time too, as CA is growing more lawless by the day.
So the school shooter is being charged as an adult but then also treated as a minor. Seems you can’t have it both ways.
Not impressed with the prosecutor. She went on about how he should not have been allowed to return to class... Who is in control of the school? Not the parents. There are probably other culpable people, but they are government (school) employees, so they will get a pass.

“This is the first I heard that the parents bought the gun for the kid.”
Would buying a handgun for a minor in MI be a straw purchase?
Prior to the Rittenhouse trial when all the testimonies and actual videos came out, how much truth was in what we were being told by the MSM?
It boggles my mind, the stupidity of the parents and school personnel.
The kid is just evil…..
Yes. It is inexplicable that his person, back pack or locker weren’t checked for a weapon. Not to mention, after the parents were informed, presumably in front of the kid, that they have 48 hours to get him into counseling, that was the trigger to the tragedy. It’s inexplicable that the principal allowed the kid back into class after the meeting.
That might be fake. Sounds too good t be true for the left.
Too many clues at the meeting. Parents knew he had access to the gun and said nothing, did nothing.
Akshaully-
There may be a good case here if the parents knew he was acting suicidal and dangerous and THEN bought him a gun.
That’s absolutely negligent.
But then - I don’t trust the “state” much these days to think these allegations are true.
Good. They knew he had problems, they knew about his drawings (of guns and killings, etc.) and threats, and they still bought him a gun. He posted pictures of himself holding it with the words, “got my new Sig Sauer today,” so his father’s claim that he bought it for himself is a lie. He bought it for his son, and supplying a gun to a 15 year old is illegal in that state.
In fact even that day when the parents were called into the principal’s office because of a message he had written, they refused to take him home and did not check his backpack or ask him about the gun…his mother texted him a “LOL” in reply to one of his threats. When he started killing people, she knew immediately that it was her kid, even before he was identified, and texted “don’t do it.” So she knew, the father knew, and I hope they get the heaviest sentence possible.
It’s insane! the kid did the shooting.
The shooting happened in Michigan. Why would Massachusetts law matter at all?
Watch the presser.
I could understand the parents having some denial at first, but the supposed text “LOL” to son about shooting kids seems very off. The school had responsibility to do more. They could have banned him when the parents were there. Instead, the iffy prosecutor blamed the parents, and ignored the lax school.
