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.

    I wouldn’t give a mentally fit 15-year-old a gun. At the age they don’t really understand how destructive the gun is, not at a visceral level.

      100%. Even my gun nut family will give access to guns, but the kids never truly own a gun or have unlimited access without a guardian. They’re kids!
