A brand-new way of approaching school shootings': How Michigan prosecutor Karen McDonald made an 'instinctual' and rare decision to charge Ethan Crumbley's mother and father - and how it could set a US precedent

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

Ethan Crumbley, 15, is accused of shooting four classmates and injuring several others inside a Michigan school last month

His parents, James and Jennifer, encouraged Ethan's love of guns and bought him a 9mm handgun just before the shooting

Michigan prosecutor Karen McDonald said she 'instinctively knew' holding the adults accountable was the right thing to do as evidence mounted

#2 Is it really a 'precedent?' I thought parents were responsible for what their kids did - like not preventing kids' alcohol use at their parties. And from the evidence presented in the article there were plenty of warning signs of which the parents were aware. (So were or should have been the authorities.) This looks like a typically preventable tragedy.

"Hey Dad, can I fly to an island in the Caribbean and hang out with Presidents and English princes?
How about a private party at an old missile silo in New Mexico?"

#5 What comes next? Every person who didn't denounce the kid is a co-conspirator to murder?
