TOTALLY agree. Charging a parent with murder for something a high school student is guilty of, seems a bit extreme though. It is legal for these kids to operate a motor vehicle, so if they are guilty of DUI, does that mean that the parents are responsible and should lose their license to drive? I agree totally that parents allowing children to handle guns should be responsible to a certain extent, but MURDER? Why are the parents of kids that commit murder in the ghetto treated so lenient? Just saying. Not disagreeing with parents being held responsible. When the powers that be decide that parents are not allowed to discipline their children, it certainly makes it a bit difficult to monitor their kids' actions.
