Almost every day, you read about murders and other violent crimes being committed by minors in New York, Chicago, and other cities. But, I rarely hear about their parents being arrested in connection with those crimes. I wonder if the parents of Ethan Crumbley are being penalized because they are married and living in a two-parent family situation, and not in a large city. To me, it seems incredibly inequitable for them to be charged with manslaughter.

obviously not in all cases but I believe in general parents have responsibility for the conduct of their minor children (while they are living at home), I monitored their activities on social media and otherwise to the best of our ability - not easy, I also endeavored to be a model for them to follow, there were things I would have done differently but that's part of the parenting journey you chose to undertake when you make that decision to bring children into the world
