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.

I am sorry but no minor who is 15 years old, and who was acting out at school, and making threats should be allowed any access to weapons. It was the parents responsibility to make sure all weapons were securely locked up or removed from the home. Minors aren’t allowed to buy guns. they get them from parents who are not properly securing those weapons…plain and simple…..Yes the parents of those inner city hoodlums should also be charged. We need to return to being a nation of laws….not a nation which picks and chooses which laws are prosecuted, and which laws are ignored. Like the current administration is doing!
