re: Parents of Michigan high school shooter Ethan Crumbley will go to trial, judges rule

because I'm willing to bet the issues that the child was exhibiting was more than just the day before the incident happened, and the parents disregarded it.

drawing pictures and writing about the voices and help me is not something that just starts the day before they act out violently. the fact they bought the kid a gun, despite the warning signs is 100% on them, and they should be held accountable.

Days before the shooting, a teacher allegedly saw Ethan Crumbley researching ammunition in class, and the school contacted his parents but they didn't respond, according to prosecutors. But Jennifer Crumbley did text her son, writing, "lol, I'm not mad at you, you have to learn not to get caught," according to prosecutors.

Hours before the shooting, prosecutors said a teacher saw a note on Ethan Crumbley's desk that was "a drawing of a semi-automatic handgun pointing at the words, 'The thoughts won't stop, help me.' In another section of the note was a drawing of a bullet with the following words above that bullet, 'Blood everywhere.'"

The Crumbleys were called to the school over the incident, and said they'd get their son counseling, but they did not take him home, prosecutors said.
