This was an extreme case in my opinion. This mom was negligent in her actions.....and really should be held liable. I agree it opens the door and sets precedent for future cases, but this lady needs to be held accountable for her actions. Her son had known mental health problems and she thought it was a good idea to purchase him a pistol. Unless there is something I am missing with the facts of the case....I'm glad these deadbeat parents are being held accountable for their actions that lead to their child's reckless behavior. I also don't think your examples of an accidental / negligent discharge while hunting translates to the above case. Two completely different scenarios. Both end in tragedy....but one was with obvious intent. A parent that hunts with their children, takes them to hunters safety, locks firearms up, practices, etc. etc. etc.....hopefully will not be held to the same standard.
I couldn’t legally buy that gun I hunted with under 18 and if some unfortunate accident happened while hunting with friends might not be good for the person who bought me that gun in todays world. Just hard to pick and choose.

I totally get that. In my opinion it’s never been a gun issue. It’s always been a mental health, Lack of negative consequence issue every friggin time something happens it’s not because of the gun, but it’s always the highlight of the evening news.Gun violence If he used a vehicle to run over 10 kids getting off the busWould it be the vehicles fault or the person who purchased the vehicle ?But yes a tragedy that shouldn’t happen
The jury found her guilty on 4 counts of manslaughter, basically saying she was a co-conspirator in the crime. Not as guilty as the individual that pulled the trigger but not just negligent either. If a parent puts a gun (assault style rifle that the kid asked for) in the hands of a kid that has serious mental issues, that parent should be held responsible. And if it gives other parents pause, so be it, parents should have pause. I gave my step son a 243 when he was old enough to pass his hunting safety course. If I had seen anything that told me he was a threat to himself and/or others, he wouldn't have been given a gun. If some see this situation as a slippery slope, it's a slippery slope that I'm willing to walk out on to every time. I see society having a bunch of slippery slopes coming and in my mind, a slippery slope is a whole lot better than a cliff. At least with a slippery slope, you may be able to navigate yourself back off. A cliff is a little too permanent for my taste.
I'll just start this off with an I'm sorry. Am I supposed to believe that the public as a whole couldn't or wouldn't differentiate between a father taking his son and a friend out hunting when an accident happens and a mother going along with her husband giving her mentally ill son, an assault rifle, ammunition and then turning the kid loose to use it to kill four class mates? Really, I guess I haven't gotten that far down the rabbit hole. Don't get me wrong, I'm fully aware that there are whack jobs out there that will use whatever they can to make their points. I guess my thing is so be it, let em? There were nut jobs before, there are nut jobs now and there will be nut jobs in the future. I'm not going to change who I am because there are people that don't like something I do or something I believe. If an argument is worth making today, it's worth making tomorrow and any day afterwards. Just my thoughts......
It was easier times than.
If not the parents, who? I totally get the concern, I just don't understand what the other alternatives could or would be. It's just not feasible to think that anyone is going to accept that a kid of 15 years old is solely responsible for his or her own actions when the parents were involved the whole way. I don't necessarily agree in all cases but in this specific situation, it isn't hard to see where the blame lies. I read about the two teenagers in North Seattle recently, 13-15 year olds that stole a car and ran into a couple of pedestrians on purpose. Posted about it on Twitter for fun. Some may think the teenagers are solely responsible, being they stole the car. One glaring problem with that theory. Who's gonna make the two victims that have medical bills and such whole if not the parents of the two teenagers. You shouldn't be able to bring a child into the world if you can't raise and cover whatever it is that child does until they're 18 years old or whatever age society deems them to be an adult. I sure don't want to live in a world where a parent isn't responsible for their child's actions until they're adults.
Here we go again! 2 juveniles in custody for possibly being involved in the KC Super Bowl parade shooting. If the juveniles get convicted just hope law abiding citizens that that do shooting sports with their kids don’t get caught in the middle of possible new laws of the future.https://amp.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article285532507.html
Amazing that parents can be held accountable for something like this, yet have zero say so when the schools teach their kids to have sex change procedures! I wonder which political side is supportive of these measures!!!

Did the juveniles have unobstructed access to these firearms? Did the juveniles have behavioral or mental health history documented? I don't know much about these kids....but if the parents bought them guns and let them have unobstructed access, then maybe the parents have some responsibility / liability.

If the parents had absolutely no involvement in the shooting even if the parents legally bought the guns you better hope the parents won’t be liable in any way because law abiding parents might never buy their kids a gun to hunt with again or even for themselves. Only those responsible for their crime are responsible. Laws could include everyone, even good people with no talking out both sides of your mouth.

Good luck to you!!

It is because you have no examples and never accused anybody of talking out both sides of their mouth but explained in clear English the law could not allow talking out both sides of your mouth.
