“A prosecutor filed involuntary manslaughter charges Friday against the parents of a teen accused of killing four students at a Michigan high school, saying they failed to intervene on the day of the tragedy despite being confronted with a drawing and chilling message — ‘blood everywhere’ — that was found at the boy’s desk. James and Jennifer Crumbley committed ‘egregious’ acts, from buying a gun on Black Friday and making it available to Ethan Crumbley to resisting his removal from school when they were summoned a few hours before the shooting, Oakland County prosecutor Karen McDonald said.” (AP News)
“[The] 15-year-old boy was charged with murder and terrorism for a shooting that killed four fellow students and injured more at a Michigan high school, authorities said [last] Wednesday.” (AP News)
The left supports prosecuting the parents and calls for policy changes to reduce children’s access to guns.
The right is generally critical of the prosecutorial decisions so far.
