Jennifer Crumbley, 45, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in connection with the deadly school shooting carried out by her then-15-year-old son in 2021.

In the trial, Jennifer Crumbley testified that while “I don’t think I’m a failure as a parent” and “wouldn’t have” done anything differently in how she parented her son, she felt regret for what he did.
It’s about time a parent is held responsible. Maybe this will finally start moving a needle.
People ask “how did this happen?” after a shooting. The inevitable answer “they were raised bad” is now being scrutinized and this is what it looks like when we agree raising a child is now a legal liability. Making good parenting a legal requirement is a good step towards better adults. It’s going to be interesting seeing those who believe “property rights over human rights” spin this decision to make them the victim.
Ok, sure, but some pro-life states make you have kids even if you don’t want to continue with the pregnancy. So this may cause unfit parents to exist due to government policies.
Which is why we need to make the Republican party extinct.
Ding ding ding. We have a winner!
The issue is though who defined what is and isn’t “good parenting”?
There’s definitely an opportunity for a slippery slope here. At the same time, these parents put strawman examples of negligent parents to shame. They did almost everything bad except actively aid their son in the act.
