I agree. If a teenage gangbanger commits a murder with a firearm, and his mother doesn't even know who the father is, or where her son is most of the time, or when he last attended school, law enforcement doesn't even consider any criminal charges against the mother. But, in this case, the father is being charged with murder. If this isn't selective law enforcement, I don't know what is. Our laws should be evenly enforced.
