The parents of a Michigan school shooter were each sentenced to at least 10 years in prison Tuesday for failing to take steps that could have prevented the killing of four students in 2021.
Jennifer and James Crumbley are the first parents convicted in a U.S. mass school shooting. They were found guilty of involuntary manslaughter after prosecutors presented evidence of an unsecured gun at home and indifference toward the teen’s mental health.
Ethan Crumbley drew dark images of a gun, a bullet and a wounded man on a math assignment, accompanied by despondent phrases. Staff at Oxford High School did not demand that he go home but were surprised when the Crumbleys didn’t volunteer it during a brief meeting.
Good fuck these assholes.
Zero compassion for the victims’ families and attempting to flee? Believe it or not, jail.
CPAC just found their next keynote speakers
Remember these two?
Sigh. Unfortunately. Those two are awful humans.

:O
👏 I love that this sets a precedent for parents. You can’t just have kids, not parent them, and not be held accountable for their actions. I hope this is expanded across all similar situations, and even extends into other types of crime. raise a kid that does bad things, pay the consequences. then people will understand just how serious it is to create a life.
of course this is slippery slope, but in moderation i think this is fair. if parents did all they could to help the child and they still did bad things, they’re not at fault.
They were only held accountable because they’re poor.
Don’t get it twisted
