Quote HistoryQuoted: In both of these cases the parents were wildly negligent with a kid they would have known has mental illness. The first thing the guy in MI did after he heard about the shooting was go to check if the gun was still there. If reports are to be believed from the latest one it is of the same caliber of willful negligence. Neither of these were, "Jonny snapped one day out of the blue, stole the parents gun, and killed people." There was a trail of obvious mental illness that was blatantly ignored by the parents. If you provide ready access of a firearm to a minor in that setting, you are taking responsibility for the consequences of that. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: A slippery slope that I am good with.

In these two cases though, it wasn't just ready access, they went out and bought their kids the guns and ammo used in the shootings knowing the sons had mental issues. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The one in MI was even more blatant. Mom and dad absolutely Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Dad buys gun for a minor child under age 18 that can not legally purchase the gun themselves ------> Child uses that gun to shoot up a school and kill 4 people and injure many others Seems pretty clear to me. That father is responsible for that gun and what the child does with it until age 18. Not always necessarily true. It's only happening here because the father may have had reasons to suspect his son had made threats. Without that, it'd be a complete bullshit case. It isn't illegal to give your minor child a rifle. But if that child is known to have problems obviously it can be different. The one in MI was even more blatant. Mom and dad absolutely I agree the charges were reasonable in Michigan. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The cops said they couldn't be sure where the threats came from or who made them. I don't think it was as clear cut as some here make it. Regardless this has already been debated in the main thread, and I'm not trying to rehash it. This father may in fact be guilty, but the idea that a father of a healthy normal kid that hasn't previously made threats or acted violent would automatically be guilty if his kid misuses a gun from the home is ridiculous.

He bought the AR for him after a visit from the police department over threats his son made. The dad had a beer in his hand when he answered the door and talked to the cops. It wasn't a Saturday or Sunday either. Maybe it's my personal opinion but any parent that buys their kid a gun, any type of gun, and gives them unfettered access to it after knowing they have made threats against life and are a danger to other law abiding citizens should be charged. The kid needed mental health help but instead the father bought him a gun. It was either he suicides or attempts to suicide by taking other lives. If the kid swallowed the muzzle this wouldn't even be a debate. The cops said they couldn't be sure where the threats came from or who made them.

From the police interview, the father knew the son had mental problems. |

Quoted: Prosecutors last week charged the father of an accused school shooter in Georgia with crimes including second-degree murder, a move that comes six months after the parents of a Michigan school shooter were convicted of manslaughter. Will this become the new normal? Going forward, should we expect the parents of teenaged mass killers to face criminal charges stemming from the actions of their children? Yes. You should be responsible for any shit that any dogs of yours do. If you turned your shit loose UNSUPERVISED and it came over into my yard and tore shit up - You should be liable. If you don't want to be charged with stuff - TRAIN YOUR SHIT before you unleash it on the rest of us.  You ARE responsible if it ain't a legal adult yet. |

I don't think parents should be charged with the crime their kids commit but they should face some criminal or legal consequences of their kids are committing felonies. Your kids are your responsibility. The world would be a lot better place if parents were accountable for their children's actions. If you aren't ready to raise child that doesn't victimize others then don't fucking have kids.
The problem with this is selective justice. They will never prosecute hood parents for their kids crimes which is where most of the violent crime comes from |

Obviously extreme negligence can change this, but an automatic criminal charge just because your kid commits a crime is ridiculous and sounds more like the USSR than America. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: How far down that slope are you willing to go? The nature of slippery slopes is that once you let someone else get you started down one, you don't get to decide when it stops. So if the "disturbed" kid steals his dad's gun and kills somebody, dad should go to prison for not doing a better job securing his gun. Why should that apply only to his kid? What if it was a disturbed neighbor that stole the gun? Gun owner still should have kept it secured right? Why should you be expected to secure your firearm from your own family, but not from complete strangers? Back to the kid... What if instead of the gun, junior stole Dad's car and ran somebody down. Dad goes to prison for not securing the car, right? The "allowing a drink to drive" laws generally require proving that the car owner knew the person was drunk and still allowed them to drive at that moment. I've never heard of a law that would allow the charging of a car owner because the drunk took their car without their permission or knowledge because the car owner left the keys out where the drunk could find them. But maybe we should! What about that knife block on the kitchen counter...you're just going to leave those out there, where any upset kid could grab a 10 inch butcher knife and hurt someone? That's no different than leaving a gun laying around - at least not to the dead kids' parents. "Not one more inch! Well, except that inch. That one doesn't seem so bad. Go ahead and take that one." Except he didn’t steal the gun. After making school threats in his original school and having to be moved to a new school district, his father bought him a rifle for Christmas.  It’s a shit show all around to be sure the father deserves charges |

Quote HistoryQuoted: If a person gifts their tarded kid who looks like a school shooter, acts like a school shooter an AR15 for Christmas and then allow him to have access to said rifles and the tarded kid shoots up a school … you get everything you fucking deserve. Hope the whole family dies in jail. Pretty much. Good gun owners understand this, you don't just start handing out rifles to kids with known mental issues then act surprised when they do something horrific. In this case in particular the father was as close to a partner in the crime as you can get without going and helping shoot the place up. Fucking idiot. His actions directly contributed to the outcome. |

My issue is that it won't be universal.

But Shaniqua who's kid has been found to be slinging dope and being a gang banger who lights up the Bodega with a switched Glock definitely isn't responsible because she "is doing the best she can" and "we don't want to stigmatize". |

From what I know about the most recent one the dad belongs in prison Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: not going to read a 4 page gd post. parent buys the gun? parent gives gun to disturbed minor? parent fails to secure firearms? disturbed minor uses firearm to kill people. I'm in. charge the parent. minors are NOT RESPONSIBLE legally. 18 years old? ok, MAYBE, the parent has no liability, if the disturbed NON MINOR is no longer living at home. minor, living at home? with unsecured firearms? goes on a killing spree with the parent purchased firearm? charge the parent. what charges? meh. don't gaf. local ag/prosecutor will get what he can get. but every parent who buys a gun for a minor had damn well better understand that the parent is on the hook for some liability when their kid goes nuts. so make sure your kid doesn't go nuts with a firearm. if that means you don't trust them with firearms and you need to lock everything up, so be it. but giving a 16 year old free access to weapons? when they are obviously displaying signs of mental disturbance? sorry, you get some liability. dipshit. This. Both recent cases where the parents were charged they were 100% liable. If I was on first jury would have been 100% guilty. From what I know about the most recent one the dad belongs in prison So if the parents are charged are we not charging the under age kid as an adult? You can not have it both ways. |

Why not? Are you agreeing with liberals that guns are "different" and must have different laws applied to control them?

It is the Democrats' way of acting tough against crime. It ignores reality. In some cases, the parents are the first victims of these events. Do we go after parents of gang members, arsonists, and criminal mobs? Some of these parents may not get the Parent of the Year award but this is little more than vigilanteism. If you got to hang someone; the bigger the hanging, the better, right? Why not hand the teachers and administrators? They spend more time with the students than most parents nowadays.

It's called accepting responsibility (which seem to be too big of a word for many to comprehend) for your actions. If your kid is not old enough to buy the gun on their own and you buy it for them and give them free access to it, you are RESPONSIBLE for what happens with that gun.

For those who say hang the parents. What age should be the cut off for parental responsibility? 15? 16? 18? 21? 25? 87? Maybe as long as they are living under the same roof? Same rules for step parents? foster parents? grandparents? Uncles? Aunts? Guy down the street that talks to the kid and pays him to cut the grass? As pointed out above how about the school system? guidance counselor? The local troubled youth program? Where is the line?

Kin punishment is the practice of punishing the family members of someone who is accused of committing a crime, either in place of or in addition to the perpetrator of the crime. It refers to the principle in which a family shares responsibility for a crime which is committed by one of its members, and it is a form of collective punishment. Kin punishment has been used as a form of extortion, harassment, and persecution by authoritarian and totalitarian states. Kin punishment has been practiced historically in Nazi Germany, China, Japan, and South Korea; and presently in North Korea and Israel.
Sippenhaft or Sippenhaftung (German: ['z?p?n?haft(??)], kin liability) is a German term for the idea that a family or clan shares the responsibility for a crime or act committed by one of its members, justifying collective punishment. As a legal principle, it was derived from Germanic law in the Middle Ages, usually in the form of fines and compensations. It was adopted by Nazi Germany to justify the punishment of kin (relatives, spouse) for the offence of a family member. |
