I didn't see anything. To charge them with manslaughter it would seem they at least arguably broke some law. I guess we'll find out.I've seen nothing to note that the parents were aware he had taken the gun. Maybe the authorities know things we do not but that is what I'm asking.
OK??????
That's reasonable, but I would suspect that there's some evidence or the charges wouldn't be entertained. This thread will soon develop into a debate over whether the evidence is valid or not, etc., etc.I've seen nothing to note that the parents were aware he had taken the gun.

So, tell me:Parents have the ultimate responsibility for the child.

Yeah, I've done the same with my car.
In Michigan, gun owners are not required to lock up their weapons or keep them away from children, according to Giffords Law Center.
So what is it they are charging them for doing?
The parents are scum bags in my personal opinion if it is true that they refused to allow the cops to talk to their son and the mother sent the text they claim. Not sure it rises to murder but that will depend on the actual laws in that State. My personal opinion is drag them to court for their egregious actions that can be proven.That's reasonable, but I would suspect that there's some evidence or the charges wouldn't be entertained.

And a whole pile of other sh-t on parental responsibility.
Do they have to be aware to be responsible? They left the gun where he could have access to it, that much we know.
I don’t think you understand involuntary manslaughter, which is what they’ve been charged with. It doesn’t require intent, it requires some measure of reckless disregard for life. Every state’s definition is different but I have no doubt that this prosecutor has carefully considered the burden before laying the charges, she knows she’ll face the wrath of the NRA and the rabid gun owners of America (as opposed to responsible gun owners, who doubtless support this approach to accountability). These parents were made aware that their kid was exhibiting troubling behavior at school with an intersection to guns and ammo. If they’d been paying an ounce of attention to his social media and the content of his phone, they’d have known he was intent on a mass shooting. I hope they spend a long time in prison after being judged by their peers and I hope this starts a trend as I’m sick of gutless prosecutors failing to hold parents and guardians responsible when kids get access to guns and kill other kids and even adults.Not defending him at all.....
But I will defend the parents, they are not responsible for his crime. They are most likely guilty of a few things when it comes to his crime but manslaughter ain't one of them.
They did and according to what you posted, there is no law against that.
Although the parents may not be criminally responsible....the more I hear about these text messages between the mom and her son....the more any sympathy I had for them, vanishes...I've seen nothing to note that the parents were aware he had taken the gun.

Dial yourself back; murder isn't being charged.The parents are scum bags in my personal opinion if it is true that they refused to allow the cops to talk to their son and the mother sent the text they claim.

They're probably broke already, but if the report of them blowing off a school meeting are correct, they're gonna get sued.
I seriously doubt they can get involuntary manslaughter which IS a form of murder. But perhaps other charges.Dial yourself back; murder isn't being charged.
This shit happens every day, but this one differs in that there's a huge precedence that could be established.
It's a good article.
Your question will be answered if you read the article.
You and I see to read the law differently.
Although the parents may not be criminally responsible....the more I hear about these text messages between the mom and her son....the more any sympathy I had for them, vanishes...
Example....when the school shooting hit the news....the mom texted her son and said "Ethan, don't do it" -- hard to claim the parents were not aware of anything if this is what they text during a school shooting..she didn't text "OMG, are you ok!!" -- nope -- she just asked him not to do it...
