In April 2024, James and Jennifer Crumbley were sentenced to 10-15 years in prison for involuntary manslaughter in the deaths of four Oxford High School students. The Crumbleys are the first parents to be convicted in the United States for their child's mass school shooting. On November 30, 2021, Ethan Crumbley, the Crumbleys' 15-year-old son, shot and killed four students and injured seven others. The victims were Justin Shilling, 17; Hana St. Juliana, 14; Madisyn Baldwin, 17; and Tate Myre, 16. The prosecution argued that the shooting was preventable because the Crumbleys ignored their son's mental health needs and bought him the gun used in the shooting. The Crumbleys were found guilty of having an unsecured gun at home and being indifferent to their son's mental health.

The dad said he went to the school over and over again and just like most of the schools they agree to deal with it but the schools never do anything. The school staff always turns that blind eye. It was also said in an earlier video that he actually said he was going to shoot’em up in 2023. The school knew this and again did nothing. No matter the size of the shooter, if you have 3 or 4 bullies bullying a person what is he to do and this could have been going on year after year after year. The principal had the right to call police as soon as he made the verbal threat. The whole thing just makes me so sick and those poor parents that lost their children. I cry and pray for children in the school.

[@rodneyarmstrong3813]

Your child has to be 16 years old to own and have a long gun. At 14 he has to be under adult supervision while having a gun. I agree with this it's the Law. It starts with the parents. The shooter was only 14. The teachers will get back on the horse and teach the children girls can be boys and boys can be girls.

No, @zachschaefer3824, the blame lies with the parents, those who routinely vote down reasonable gun laws, and those who have the gall to think that blowing animals away with an assault rifle constitutes sport. Oh, and don't forget: 1. The shooter just moved to the school district and the father DID NOT inform the school about the prior investigation. 2. The year before, the FBI and local authorities reported and investigated the situation as far as they could per law and in line with "innocent until proven guilty." 3. What parent ignores FBI warnings about their child's mental instability and public threats, and THEN ALLOWS THEM TO BE NEAR A GUN, A RIFLE, OR AN AUTOMATIC ASSAULT WEAPON... EVER!

[@saywhat6768]

Please re-read the Constitution, unless you think that is outdated. Also the word “assault rifle” is made up term to trigger. AR means Armalite Rifle. And nothing to do with automatic.

I get your point, any 65 year old librarian with a gun will act more heroic than any of the Police in Uvalde did... but there are some holes in your plan that are wider than the Grand Canyon. Next time try completing the thought thats in your head, instead of committing to the first half sentence, and never thinking any further on the subject.

is it illegal for parents to buy their children hunting rifles and gear?

[@Nickjames87]

They take it seriously, but they didn’t take it seriously last year when he made the threats OK only when something happens. I blame law enforcement the police, but they’re just going to arrest a parent. Sure, OK why not arrest the investigator from last year?

[@carlosmejia5728]

American civilians account for an estimated 393 million (about 46 percent) of the worldwide total of civilian held firearms, or about 120.5 firearms for every 100 American residents.

[@davidjackson2690]

Dumbest, least legal charges ever.

[@KingdomMinded88]

Such garbage. You get arrested for your kids actions yet the teachers spend more time around them. Not only that you can kill an unborn child and not be responsible. What a crock. The parent did not shoot anyone wasnt even there. Garbage

[@kerrynight3271]

The father told the authorities that he wouldn't allow his kid to have unsupervised access to weapons. He deserves prison.

[@KingdomMinded88]

@kerrynight3271 I do not care the excuse. If you do not commit a crime you should not be charged with one. End of story. Women can do what they want and not be charged for a choice yet this happens how it does.

[@mywifesboyfriend5558]

​@@KingdomMinded88You are wrong. I believe in the 2nd Amendment, but it must be used RESPONSIBLY. The father lied to the cops, allowed his obviously mentally unwell son access to a firearm despite his making threats, and did not properly secure said firearm. He's guilty. You're flat out wrong here. Dad is culpable. He had a hand in it. Admit you were wrong and beg forgiveness. No replies will be seen or read You have been told. 😏🫳 🎤

[@KingdomMinded88]

@mywifesboyfriend5558 show me the law that says that firearm must be locked up. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to be the parent next time and you can fight for your freedom.

[@fernandogallardo3458]

Father and son will share the same cell in prison. Son, why did you do it? Dad, sorry that I got you into trouble.

[@kerrynight3271]

The kid won't be in adult prison until he's 18.

[@roninkraut6873]

This is what a police state looks like. You are guilty for others crimes. Anyone who had a firearm is automatically guilty. Disgusting. I hope he has contacts

[@originalspqr6836]

The parents are equally culpable. Maybe the message will get out.

[@mywifesboyfriend5558]

🤦‍♂️

[@liababe23]

So many laws in place who can do anything. Teachers can’t do anything except hide and protect the kids. The law can’t do anything that violates rights of someone. That’s our reality

[@fordifly1368]

How much further will this go? What will people in the future be held accountable for on the account of the actions of another? The father broke a law, but murder charges for the father seem a bit unfit, do they not?

[@ronniefurbs]

That's just WRONG!

Good to hear a parent of evil child is held accountable. More then ever I need my 2nd amendment right to be left alone.
