I grew up on a farm in a very rural area. Always guns in our home, hunting was a way of life. We all knew how to use every firearm in the house. My brother went through a very hard period of depression at a point in HS. Lost his best friend in an accident as well as other factors. Not a word was said by my parents but every gun in the house went in the safe with a combo only known to dad. Dad spent extra time with my brother every single day, kept him as close as possible even when my brother resisted. We all got through that hard time. Nobody BOUGHT my brother a gun and ignored him every day. I doubt these parents will be convicted. But i hope they live with the guilt every day for the rest of their lives.

It's true, she was also cheating on her husband. She's a selfish person who should've never been a Mom. I think she should be imprisoned with Ethan and forced to spend quality time getting to know her son. I think that would be the best form of punishment for her because she obviously resents Ethan and doesn't care about him at all.

This idiotic mother called her son an "oopsie baby" to her horse trainer, a witness for the prosecution. Not knowing what that was, I looked it up, and it is a reference to some kind of demented baby that has killer instincts. Pathetic excuse for a mother, and so self-absorbed.

You do realize that Michigan has parental responsibility laws already. You already can be held liable for crimes your children committ, if the circumstances are "right." And you are financially liable for your child's court costs/fines/restitution. And there are times when parents should be held liable. If you serve your kid alcohol, and your kid kills someone by driving under the influence, you better believe you are liable.
