You're assuming good faith on the part of the DAs offices and that this won't be prosecuted in a selective arbitrary way. Realistically a law like this will only be used against white suburban parents. I really doubt anyone from Flint or Dearborn or Detroit ever gets hit with prison time because of their son killing someone, and that's the problem with it.

A good comparison to illustrate when a parent should be held criminally liable is the case in Virginia (maybe?) where the six or seven year old got a gun from home, took it to school, and shot his teacher. I think the mother in that case did get charged.
