[blueboss]

Going to set a precedence?

I have been pondering this. What other crimes a child might commit that we would also find the parents culpable?

Who else could we hold accountable? The cops who didn’t go in Texas. The shrinks that didn’t act in Florida, maybe.

It’s absolutely a precedent.

I think this is a gross overuse of the law as it relates to unintentional manslaughter. To me, this would have had to rise to the lever beyon simple negligence and be gross negligence. And for a parent dealing with a mentally ill child, that bar for what is normal vs what is out there can be very different than the community standard. And in fact, I will argue that if the school truly felt the child was an imminent threat they could have MADE the mother take the child home that morning. They did not.
