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.
Instead of wondering, you should educate yourself to the circumstances involved in the shooting. The father bought the gun and 3 @ 12 round clips 4 days before the shooting. The timing couldn’t be more “coincidental“. Did the father buy the gun because the son requested him to do so? Was the mother at all involved in the purchase? Was the gun even bought legally? Why wasn’t the gun safely secured? Why did the son even know that the father had bought the gun? Why did the son have access to the gun? Let the police iron this out in the proper fashion to determine where all charges will be placed.
