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.

It's high time for adults to be held accountable for their children shooting other students. These parents were totally irresponsible.
I'm amazed that people want to hold the school accountable. BUT it's the parent's responsibility to take the advice of the school and its teachers. The school told the parents the boy needed counseling and the parents did nothing.
The parents bought the gun for their child - a semiautomatic at that. I want law enforcement to charge more parents for these killings. I don't want to worry about my grandchildren at school.
