Thank you so much for this! What kind of Mom tells her child she isn't mad just learn not to get caught? Then they want him back in school? I cannot imagine! Let them find them swiftly! The docs and your clarification are greatly appreciated! This is definitely one to watch, could be a gamechanger.

So thrilled the parents got charged. If you have an underage child and providing that kid a deadly weapon while knowing your kid has deep psychological issues, then yes, you are responsible for the action of your kid. This is common sense and should be the norm for gun violence committed by kids. I had hoped Rittenhouse parents/mom would have been held to that standard, too.

Love reading the official docs. Thank you!

May these awful parents be found quickly before something else happens. Those who tried, I really feel badly for them because they definitely tried to sound the alarm.

No words.....when the mother texted her son “Ethan, don’t do it,” you might want to know if she felt compelled to write him this those words, why she didn’t sound an alarm to school officials, police or anyone. I can’t imagine she did not see the writing on the wall. I feel like a broken record when I say this but the survivors of gun violence will forever be scarred and damaged by this. It is no longer accurate to say our nation has a gun problem. We have a disease. It’s rooted in some obscure and archaic notion that the right to bear arms that is some states allow anyone to carry a deadly weapon regardless of mental acuity. The idea that military grade weapons exist in the hands of our citizens, is unfathomable in other democracies and western nations. This is terror. Combine it with extremism and fanaticism found in MAGA and other right wing extremists, is terrifying, I lost my father to gun violence. I say this all of the time. In 1978, it was unusual to experience this type of violence. Today, we hear about gun violence daily. Victims families will forever feel shock over their sudden loss. There is no greater loss than that of a child. Every time they hear a loud noise, hear a police siren or hear the phone ring late at night, they will feel stress and fear. There is no healing. Time will forever be marked by that phone call where they heard the unforgettable words about their child. Time will be measured by “before the shooting” or “after the shooting”. I feel so bad for the victims.... the pain and their long road to process. I hope these fugitives will face justice. They must’ve known that something was not right with their kid. Nobody can be that numb to what was right in front of their noses.

I continue to be appalled at gun violence in this country. It’s not okay for so many people to be armed. Our children are gunned down and traumatized and as a people (most are parents) there’s no meaningful gun restrictions or background check. This is our national legacy and nightmare.
