Arrr mateys, Former California prosecutor Steve Baric be talkin' about how the scallywag parents o' young Ethan Crumbley could be facin' the plank for their crimes. It be settin' a dangerous precedent for other seafarin' parents involved in shady dealings! Aye, beware ye parents of the landlubbers!
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, it be said that the convictions of school shooter Ethan Crumbley's parents could lead to charges against parents who be privy to their children's involvement in violent gangs or drug dealings, as per a former prosecutor. "This be openin' up a Pandora's box of potential liability for parents goin' forward," former California prosecutor Steve Baric told Fox News.The Crumbleys' son, a mere 15 years of age at the time, be the scallywag who shot and killed four students at Oxford High School and injured seven others on the date of November 30, 2021. The prosecutors argued that the parents could have prevented this tragic event. In separate trials, both parents were found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, a rare occurrence in the United States.The prosecutors claimed that the Crumbley parents failed to secure the weapon that they bought for their son and neglected his mental well-being. The parents, however, were unaware of the severity of Ethan's mental health issues and were unable to assist him as a result, as per James' sister Karen Crumbley and Jennifer."This case could have far-reaching implications," Baric mused. "It could lead to a scenario where parents be held accountable for their offspring's criminal actions."The escalation of mass shootings across the nation, with a significant increase in school shootings, has left many feeling helpless. Baric pondered on whether convicting parents for their children's crimes be a just course of action.
