Oxford school shooter's parents can face manslaughter trial, court says in groundbreaking case

The parents of a teenager who killed four students at a Michigan high school can face trial for involuntary manslaughter, the state appeals court said Thursday in a groundbreaking case of criminal responsibility for the acts of a child.

 

The murders would not have happened if the parents hadn't purchased a gun for Ethan Crumbley or if they had taken him home from Oxford High School on the day of the shooting, when staff became alarmed about his extreme drawings, the appeals court said.

 

The court noted that the legal threshold at this stage of the case is fairly low under Michigan law.

Good. People think they are not responsible for their children and these parents are learning that it isn't true.

Giving a gun to a 15 year old

Well in defence give all kids in school a gun to defend themselves no harm can come with that
