In the trial, Jennifer Crumbley testified that while “I don’t think I’m a failure as a parent” and “wouldn’t have” done anything differently in how she parented her son, she felt regret for what he did.
It’s about time a parent is held responsible. Maybe this will finally start moving a needle.
Yeah, seems fraught. That said, I feel a little different where it might be attached to a societal issue like gun control vs something where it’s a tabloid driven murder case or something.
In this case, the added publicity for holding parents responsible for not securing firearms, or giving underaged people free access, is more valuable than anything else.
