You need to read the whole story, then you should understand why the parents were arrested.

Yep, a new world is coming, and this case should be interesting to watch.

He is 15, the parents are still responsible until 18 in most states.

Parents with offspring under 18-year-old are going to be part of a crime is the new world.

Maybe, just maybe parents will be more attentive to what they conceive when the courts come calling.

Duty to Protect
 

The school has a "DUTY TO PROTECT". They have not made public their side of the story,

The real problem here is that we do not know the evidence the Police/Sheriff and District Attorney have in their possession. At the "Preliminary Hearing" more information will become known.

Lets all sit back and wait for the hearing. Oxford as a community in Michigan have four families that are not going to have a very happy Christmas and Holiday Season. The injured students will have lasting memories of what took place. Let the legal system take it's course.

We need to support the plan to allow 18 year olds to drive 60,000 lb tractor trailer rigs down the interstates

They bought the gun and didn’t lock it up. That’s why

He brought a gun to school. His parents knew it. His parents bought it for HIM. His mother told him not to get caught.

The school found indications of mental problems. They scheduled counseling for him at the meeting with them That day. The school acted responsibly in seeking help for the teen. They did not know he had a weapon. The parents did. Also consider that schools have been restricted in actions "against" students. Mom even told the kid not to get caught. This sounds like a deadly, dysfunctional family.

Our family lives close to the community.

Bad idea. Kids are in school to grow their brains properly. Guns should not be a part of school, Church, typical public gatherings. The kids have enough challenges, especially after the trauma of the last 2 years.

That may be a catalyst but it is not a cause. Plenty of kids got bullied back in the day as well. None that I ever knew of shot up the school because of it.

Good parenting teaches how to handle such situations.

There are some here in The Villages that aren't fully developed also...

Absolute waste of time to even think about anything that media, twitter or other media say.

A dear friend who I worked with for years, has a daughter in that school. Her daughter was not one of the fatalities, or physically shot. Some were friends, the rest she knew, it’s a small community compared to other areas.

I have spoken with my friend several times, grateful her daughter is physically fine, but mentally time will tell. It’s easy to just get info from the media. It’s hard when it’s in your circle.

As for the parents arrest, Michigan’s prosecutor has my high regards. As a parent, and grandparent, I could truthfully say, I would not be a good candidate for the jury pool, for the parents or their son.

Check out the real story, not the media on TV. The facts of what the parents did and did not do to stop their son, warrants their arrest.

Sadly we hear about these terrible going ons in schools today at least once a month where innocent children are killed by some other disturbed child. Some teachers and professors for decades have poisoned the minds of our youth leaving them confused and angry, they in turn create chaos, violence and murders.When the majority of us went to school these types of murders were unheard of. Our society has become much more dangerous and taking a persons life means absolutely nothing to some.
