From the manslaughter statute: “created a situation where the risk of great bodily harm or death was very high, knowing that as a result of the defendant's actions he or she knew that serious harm or death would likely result.”
What is it you claim the parents “KNEW”? Did they know who would be killed? Did they know how many would be shot? Did they know why some people would be shot? What did the parents know that the school did not know?
That will be the central issue at trial. The parents will try to argue they had no reason to believe their son would ever be capable of doing something like this and could not have predicted it. I think that may be a hard sell but let’s wait and see all the real facts.

Well he left that note on his desk with a picture of a gun saying he couldnot get out of his head killing people. The school showed his parents.
The parents had the obligation to take away all the guns.
