Life in prison.Jennifer Crumbley, mother of Ethan Crumbley, found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in son’s school shooting
PONTIAC, Mich. — Jennifer Crumbley, the Michigan woman charged in connection with her son’s deadly school shooting rampage in 2021, was convicted Tuesday of involuntary manslaughter in the unprecedented case.
The unanimous verdict came on the second day of jury deliberations in a landmark trial that turned on an unusual question: Can the parent of a child who commits a mass shooting also be held criminally responsible?
Crumbley, 45, was charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter — one for each of the victims in the attack at Oxford High School in November 2021. Her son, Ethan, pleaded guilty as an adult to murder, terrorism and other crimes, and was sentenced in December to life in prison without parole.

Making parents responsible for child behavior when 'professionals' are employed by the school...I think we may see more of this as related to school (kid) shootings. Sad truth is that a lot of the shooter probably exhibit signs of mental illness / depression long before they snap. Maybe time for a school counselor, coach or clergy to intervene.

Probably should have put the professionals on trial instead!
The father seems to be a worthless POS. No wonder where the kid gets his anger and hatred from. Read this article before defending that scumbag MF.

I'd be fine if they go after the parents if the kids are juveniles and courts can prove wrong doing. Bringing offspring into this world carries some responsibilty.And the mother is a skank. But, worthless human beings that they are, can they be held criminally liable for the actions of their child. And, if so, doesn't that set a precedent for all school shooters and their parents?
And the mother is a skank.
From the article:Prof. Robert Leider (GMU): Are Parents Responsible for School Shootings Committed by their Children?
I'm delighted to be able to pass along this item by Prof. Leider, who is an expert on criminal law: On Wednesday, an all-too-familiar tragic scene playedreason.com
The law traditionally has not imposed a general duty upon parents to protect third parties against the criminal acts of their children. And for good reasons. Parents are not in a position to control their children's behavior at all times. Although parents may choose to have children, they do not choose the children that they get. Unlike the employer-employee relationship, parents cannot terminate a child who exhibits problematic behavior.
But there are some exceptions where parents may violate duties of their own. A parent can become liable when he fails to exercise control over the child and the child's wrongful act is reasonably foreseeable. Even here, however, courts (usually in the tort context—criminal cases are rare) have imposed a strict standard for what qualifies as reasonably foreseeable. To quote the Alaska Supreme Court:
A plaintiff must show more than a parent's general notice of a child's dangerous propensity. A plaintiff must also show that the parent had reason to know with some specificity of a present opportunity and need to restrain the child to prevent some imminently foreseeable harm.
Dinsmore-Poff v. Alvord, 972, P.2d 978, 986 (Alaska 1999).
