The voices won't stop. Please help. If EVER there was a cry for help, this is literally it.

The "I would not have done anything different" was probably the nail in the coffin

"I'm an alcoholic with anger issues and I'm hallucinating." "okay, here's a gun."

Like a reddit comment said, "I'll never forgive Ethan Crumbley's parents for making me feel sorry for a mass shooter."

“Can you at least reply” is a text a child should NEVER have to send their parent

When she says she "never heard her son request a therapist" she's probably telling the truth. He said it; she didn't hear it, because she didn't listen nor did she want to listen.

When Ethan was arrested and charged, instead of going to the police station to support their son and face what he did, the parents went on the run. They knew they were guilty before the case ever went to trial.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but you begin to feel bad for the shooter — begging for help until you broke, and now your parents are each on trial, saying that you breaking was inevitable and there was absolutely no way they could have helped you

She wasnt convicted for CAUSING him to do the shooting. She was convicted for ALLOWING him to do the shooting.

If politicians want to increasingly push "parental rights", as in parental control over their children and their education (or other areas of their lives), then they also have to accept that this makes parents increasingly liable for the actions of their children.

When she was on the stand and said that she wouldn't have done anything different. That sealed her fait. My nephew is one of the students killed that day. I hope she rots in prison. She has no remorse about the shooting. She only has remorse that she got caught or has been inconvenienced by this whole incident.

Being from Oregon, I have met people who knew the family of Kip Kinkle who committed a mass shooting at Thurston High School. His parents did try to get him help and were unable to. Kip killed his parents before committing murder at his school. The Crumbley’s were not the same. They actively sought to provide their son with a gun. They are responsible for their son’s actions that day.

"I wish my son was into normal things" buys him gun The lock combination was '0000' I'm about to scream

I think this case is unique because not only did the parents not STOP their kid, they bascially encouraged him by buying him a gun, knowing he was making threats in school.

Once again, I cannot comprehend why a 15-year-old would even need a gun in the first place. It might be that I'm not from the US, but to me, kids shouldn't be allowed near a firearm.

She wasn't convicted for "bad parenting" i.e. that's what could have caused him mental duress to the point he wanted to commit violence... she was convicted because she enabled, or almost basically aided and abetted him in this act. She GAVE him the gun with which he performed the shooting. She DIDN'T pull him from school when he threatened violence in his drawings and literally wrote "please help" mere hours before he committed the crime. She DIDN'T tell him to stop looking for ammunition, just to "not get caught" while doing so. I mean... helloooo???

“There’s nothing that could have been done to prevent the shooting” What??? You bought your kid a gun and then didn’t lock it up properly. wtf? That’s like baby’s first gun safety rules.

She brought her mentally disturbed teen to shooting ranges and bought him a gun and left it out with blatant signs he was thinking of shooting people... I don't think a properly responsible parent would have duplicated those choices.

If you can be charged with buying your child alcohol, you can be charged with buying them a GUN.
