Because it's complete bullshite, ghetto logic when people go looking for authorities to blame in place of the parents who raised the shooter and - often as in this case - armed him and raised him to be unaccountable.


So every parent should be charged when their child breaks the law? What a completely asinine thought.

Tired of this "it' takes a village" bullshite every time some trashy parents' unleash their kid on the world.


What the frick are the school counselors even there for if not for something like this? I certainly never said a village. This is part of what these people are supposed to do for as a profession.

Reasonable adults where ponder where and when exactly the line is crossed of parents bearing some responsibility for their kids' actions, but some people believe the line does not exist and parents are never responsible.

I feel the same when Mama jumps in front of the cameras crying Dayshawt Mahbaby after T-shon gets what's coming.



I'm gonna need someone to translate this

If they had a reasonable possibility to stop it but ignored every opportunity? Yes.

If my kid goes around fantasizing about shooting up the school I’m damn sure not going to Aw Shucks Boys Will Be Boys it away.

There were plenty of signs that this kid should not be around firearms. His parents made no effort to restrict them from him.

When your inactivity leads to death you are partially responsible in my eyes and now in the eyes of the court.

Clearly not what I posted at all; you're just posting idiotic strawmen to try to sound smart and it isn't working at all. Unfortunately, the OT is sometimes the perfect place to read the views of trash humans who expect public school employees to take the place and take the accountability of parents.

Literally nobody is saying every parent whose child breaks the law should be charged.

I keep seeing people make comments like “so if my kid steals my car and hits someone, I go to jail?” as if the decision is whether to charge all parents for the crimes of their children, or none. However, it’s just as easy to throw out hypotheticals like “what if a parent knowingly leaves a loaded handgun in their 9 year old kid’s room, he takes it to school, and he shoots someone?”

If your reaction is “but that’s not what happened here,” that’s the point. It’s not black and white. Negligence is inherently subjective. At some point it has to come down to how a reasonable person would have acted.

I can understand questioning whether Jennifer Crumbley should be held criminally responsible for her son’s actions. I don’t really understand why people seem to be so hung up on the idea of any parent being held criminally responsible for their kid’s actions.
