Authorities are searching for the parents of a teenager accused of killing four people in a Michigan high school shooting this week, the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Friday.
The news came shortly after Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald announced that James and Jennifer Crumbley had been charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter.
“While the shooter was the one who entered the high school and pulled the trigger, there are other individuals who contributed to the events on Nov. 30, and it’s my intent to hold them accountable as well,” McDonald said at a news conference.
She added, “Gun ownership is a right, and with that right comes great responsibility.”
An attorney for the parents had contacted authorities Friday morning to say that James and Jennifer Crumbley would turn themselves in if they were charged, sheriff Michael Bouchard said.
On Friday afternoon after officials said they were searching for the pair, their lawyers said the couple had not fled but had left town the night after the shooting “for their own safety” and were in the process of returning for arraignment.
“They are not fleeing from law enforcement despite recent comments in media reports,” lawyers Shannon Smith and Mariell Lehman said in a statement.
The attorneys’ statement regarding the Crumbleys’ return was first reported by the Detroit News.
The sheriff’s office said it had not heard from lawyers late Friday afternoon and said that the duo’s voluntary return was not assured.
Earlier in the day Bouchard described resources on the case.
“We have our Fugitive Apprehension Team, the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Service and others actively looking for them and have every expectation we’ll have them in custody soon,” Bouchard said. “The action of fleeing and ignoring their attorney certainly adds weight to the charges. They cannot run from their part in this tragedy.”
The couple may be driving a black 2021 Kia Seltos SUV with a Michigan license plate number, authorities said.
Bouchard said that his department was not given a heads-up from the prosecutor that the charges would be filed against the parents.
“We were informed, actually, by the media that a charging decision had been made,” he told MSNBC.
When asked if that was frustrating, the sheriff responded: “That’s an understatement.”
James Crumbley purchased the weapon days before the shooting, according to the sheriff. McDonald said that James Crumbley brought the suspect, Ethan Crumbley, with him to the store.
Under Michigan law, an involuntary manslaughter charge can be pursued if prosecutors believe someone contributed to a situation in which harm or death was high. If convicted, they could face up to 15 years in prison.
Ethan Crumbley, 15, has been charged as an adult with two dozen crimes, including murder, attempted murder and terrorism, in the shooting Tuesday at Oxford High School in Oakland County, roughly 30 miles north of Detroit.
During Friday’s news conference, the top prosecutor in Oakland County said that a teacher had observed Ethan Crumbley searching ammunition on his cellphone and alerted school officials. The school tried to contact his mother but could not reach her.
McDonald told reporters that Jennifer Crumbley did not contact the school but instead texted her son: “Lol. I’m not mad at you. You have to learn not to get caught.”

“You have to learn not to get caught”
What in the hell kind of parenting is that?!?!!
Same kind of parenting as the people who shove video games, cell phones and tablets in the face of children so that they won’t be bothered!
Parents giving a deadly weapon as a gift to a minor child is criminal negligence.
@@juliusrelampagos9780 this is why you should teach your children at a young age guns are not toys and are to be respected at all times. Giving a firearm to a minor is not criminal negligence. Letting them have it unsupervised and doing whatever they please with it unsupervised, that is criminal negligence.
@Yael J. Murray Definitely Democrat parenting...just look at everything Hunter Biden has gotten away with!
@Travis Davis you are the one claiming "republican parenting", even though both parents were life long democrats! LOL
I've been sent home from school for showing my midriff but I guess that's way more dangerous than drawing pictures of shooting people after getting caught shopping for ammo.
Me: (googles midriff expecting images of a weapon)
Also me: “Jesus, when did I get this old and clueless”. 🤦♂️
🤣😆
Nah, these conservatives are just crazy ..
Right 👍🏿
The disturbing images and words should've raised alarms, as in gong's and (1) parents/school administrators agree it's best to take him home / mental facility (2.) If above said adults agreed to keep him at school, resource officer should've been notified and had his backpack checked. What more did this kid have to prove whatever turmoil he held was tormenting him. Did he nee to write the 'Help me' in his own blood? Then have it delivered to both the school and his parents via pigeon carrier to be taken seriously? That would be kinda official, right? All the adults failed him and lives were lost and that community is broken. 😢
There was multiple warning signs to stop this. Some people don’t need kids
If you look closely you will see some other red flags about the parents relationship with the kid -- they don't want the kid.
As a high school teacher, I often am worried about the people who were allowed to have children--and I really mean that!
@Suq Madeek AMEN’. Not every baby born will grow up to be a good person
AMEN
@@rrickarr some should not be allowed to breed!
These parents would rather buy guns for their children rather than invest in some therapy or counseling for them. How insane and disturbing. Teachers who noticed something was wrong with his state of mind and behaviour did the right thing by reporting it. It's unfortunate that 4 people are murdered.
They should have asked, had he brought a gun to school or did he intend to bring a gun to school. They should have also asked, that his school bag and locker be searched.
Unfortunate. It's disgusting
This is why it’s entirely appropriate to charge them too. They practically taught this kid to be a monster.
@Potter Charles *YES! YES! YES!....YES!*
@Potter Charles No, the school should be equipped with those things. Had that been the case here there is a good probability this doesn't happen.
The schools need to be as hardened as prisons. I'm sure companies would love the federal contracts to make this happen.
I couldn't even imagine how that teacher feels because she tried to notify them on 2 occasions. My heart goes out to those grieving and full of unanswered questions.
She should have notified the police..
@@AC-ly6tg In hindsight yes, but she probably had faith in her superiors to take action. I would have been terrified when he walked back into the classroom.
The TEACHER should have called the POLICE.
The teacher should of notified the police she is just as guilty and should go to prison.
@@jenvalencia4390 this is in no way that teachers fault.
The kid literally wrote THE THOUGHTS WONT STOP HELP ME in his drawing and left it where someone could find it. He asked someone to stop him. His parents completely failed. How did they not at least check his backpack and locker to ensure he didn't take his gun?
What kind of people buy guns for children.
@@sherylF5610 probably parents that wants to ruin their kids
@@sherylF5610 African military people?
@@ophiolatreia93 what "african military people" this is such a nasty generalisation that leads me to believe you know nothing about Africa.
@@xq3263 it seems that some parents aim to be a friend to their child rather than parent them.
You can't say bomb on a plane but you can google ammo at school with a drawing of your intended crime and be allowed to return to class. Sending him home could've saved 4 beautiful lives. Smh.
PRIVILEGE!!!!!!!!! Detroit Public Schools kids get sent home if they are late for class.
the parent didnt wanted to take him home so they would send him out meanwhile the gun is in his backpack he goes back does the same thing.
I agree with you, however, given these parents……he would have done this the next day instead. The parents weren’t intervening to get him help, now it’s all too late.
@@karend.9218 agree!
@fawn fairy u think u funny
As a father of 2 children I can only imagine the amount of hurt the parents of the victims must feel. My prayers go out to the families
I'm curious, what is it that your "praying" to? One of the "god(s)" I've heard about? Which one? Is your "god" all powerful? I hear some are. Can yours interact with the world? If I watched a child STARVE TO DEATH while I had food would you think I was a monster? (hint: YES) So then wouldn't an all powerful "god" that can interact with our world doing the EXACT same thing on a GLOBAL scale, you know - watching CHILDREN STARVE TO DEATH - wouldn't that make them an even bigger monster? (hint: YES).
So confusing, maybe you can explain? As get this, every time I ask these questions I either get more baseless assertions or - even worse - I get attacked personally. No questions to me, just personal attacks. I wonder which you'll do.
@@ross-carlsonDo U serve the invisible God? Seems like u think u seen the all mighty, 😱 in America we have freedom to worship da ROCK if we so choose. 🛑 it
@@ross-carlson its not up to us to decide how God works, God made the world how it is and if someone wants to send their condolences to the deceased its out of respect and sympathy.
@@ross-carlson Ok, I don't believe in any religion but your little rant there is completely unncessary. despite having no religion, I pray for the victims parents as well.
@@ross-carlson
Hey Ross, I'm with you when it comes to confronting religious dingbats and do it all the time.
While I strongly support the Constitution and it's 1st amendment right to freedom of religion, I also believe it's important to provide counterpoint to such superstitious nonsense.
Especially with the understanding that religious belief is relative to belief in ridiculous conspiracy "theories" without evidence, based on "faith", and the effects those beliefs have had on our nation.
However, this may not be the topic for engaging in religious debate.
Personally, I and it seems you, don't need an imaginary friend for emotional support, but clearly there are some who do and still others who have been intellectually subjugated to figments of imagination as the victims of the psychological child abuse of childhood religious indoctrination.
This recent tragedy deserves our thoughts and compassion for the grieving loved ones of these 4 young people.
Also, giving thought to how we can work toward stopping such tragedies from happening.
I'm a supporter of the 2nd amendment, but within reason and support stiffer background checks and think they should include evaluation of mental health records by the issuing agency, as well as properly funding our nations mental health system, which has been gutted so that corporations and the wealthy can receive tax breaks.
This new law of holding the parents responsible is excellent and will hopefully catch on nationally and help deter future shooters by extending the personal consequences beyond the individual, as well as motivation to be more responsible parents.
I'm not sure if it would have worked in this case, as the parents seem to be total POS human beings.
Life is precious, short and fleeting.
Don't take it for granted.
I'm a Gun owner, but with all that evidence that they were making a monster. THEY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. PEOPLE LOST THEIR CHILDREN...SAD
Here here , I support the 2nd amendment but fools, the incompetent, and mentally disturbed people don’t deserve that the right.
When I was in 7th grade I had a severe mental breakdown alongside my friend at the time, we both fed into each other’s negativity bringing the world and ourselves down more and more each time we talked, it never turned into violence against others- but we both attempted suicide at one point. My mom who denied my issues and their mom who ignored theirs played such a huge part in it getting so out of hand. Don’t be a parent if you’re not prepared to deal with the fact that there’s a chance your kid can be mentally ill.
I hope you are fine now
I hope you and your friend are doing well
the lack of accountability like this from parents is why this happens ..not saying it was justified but it never fails that the parents typically ignore the signs of a mental illness until they explode like this . it’s sad
Wow hope you are better now. By your words it sounds like you are very mature and probably more in tune then both or your parents put together.
What you and your friend had was called a Folie à deux... Glad you're doing better
No wonder people don’t want to be teachers. They legit did everything they could have and still are getting talked bad about. Sad
I think the bad talk is directed at the school administration instead of the teacher.
The school administration should have sent him home.
I think school authority could of taken all precautions and pay more attention to the picture and drawing. I am very proud of that teacher who brought it to the light. But school board did nothing to prevent it. They could of suspended kid from school. But they did not. I have seen at schools art picture of human faces. Half of the face normal and the other is like a zombie. What ever kids were amagenning in there heads and it is just art all over school walls. We should not allow evel picture like skeletons, blood, torture in kids teaching and education. And pay attention to the warnings ⚠️
I don't think anyone is placing blame with the teachers. Quite the opposite. It's the administration at the school that dropped the ball (after the parents, of course).
it’s not the teacher, it’s the brain dead phonies who run the school that sent him back to class. if anything people should sympathize with the teacher, but sadly people will just take a 5 second look and blame everyone
Being former law enforcement, "you need to learn not to get caught" just makes me furious!! It's what the parent's of kid's who break the law said every time.
I think he probably told his parents to show his gun to students
When I was a kid we sold each other reloaded ammo in the school parking lot before class, there was a 12g shotgun and a 7mm hunting rifle in the back window of my truck which was parked in the school lot for the 4 years of high school I attended there. the same can be said of all my friends in my circle. when did looking up ammo become a crime? i carried a gun catalog and a copy of whitetail magazine to school on the reg it was natural for kids my age. The crime here is overlooking the root causes for these shootings. this kid wasn't born a murderer he was made a murderer. i will bet you your pension, this kid was bullied, he's on psychotropic medications and the school staff ignored all the signs that this kid was about to pop and did nothing to prevent it or this incident.
Parents run and leave the kid in jail. I hope they don´t delay court process so that the shooter kid do not have the only moral support he had to commit his heartless crime. Both father and son are nothing but cowards. It was reported that they traced records of DUI from the parents in Florida. I wonder if they could trace their family ancestry and see if the shooter´s parents were blood related because the kid sure looks like an inbred freak.
@@UrbCrafter what was the school supposed to do?
They are Trump terrorists, that simple.
Giving a poorly adjusted child a gun is stupid. The parents then doubled down and were non-responsive to the emotion problems the child had. The parents are terrible people to say the least. They were more likely to flee responsibility than face them.
Exactly! They tried to run away from consequences. Irresponsible parents are partially why the world is so bad
I raised 2 boys and own many firearms. Both of my kids were taught to respect and safely use guns their whole life. At one point my oldest was going through some emotional stuff and was depressed and angry alot due mostly from bullying due to he is autistic. At that time I removed all guns from my house and stored them at my brother's just for added peace of mind.
I think that these parents were probably walking on eggshells trying to cope with a child wish mental illness. I've been there, it's a constant struggle of balance of compliance and discipline. But, I believe that giving anyone with depression and mental imbalance a gun ( a pretty nice one too) is negligent as hell and they should hold some responsibility.
There were also reasons for the school to believe that he had issues and should have been suspended and reported to law enforcement.
@J. Hurt no police were killed there, only on unarmed woman killed by capital police. Also, Investigation has already concluded that there was no conspiracy from the president or anyone involved for that matter.
You should get that TDS looked at.
Edit= typo
@@jimeagle1155 I don’t believe they were walking on eggshells
I can't imagine the frustration that his teacher feels when they did EVERYTHING right to try and stop this... unbelievable.
I'm sure the parents went into that school meeting all self righteous about their right to play with guns as a family or something... her text about not getting caught shows the total lack of empathy here. Disgusting.
@@verreal his teacher literally photographed the disturbing letter he wrote and showed it to the heads of the school telling them something was clearly wrong what more could they have realistically done? Really hope you aren’t a teacher with that garbage attitude smh
Had she simply had a administrator search him, the shooting wouldn't have happened. She's as guilty as the parents.
@@verreal no teacher knew he had the gun on him until the shooting happen. The parents knew they didn't put up the gun called the cops after the shooting already happened to report it missing
Everything huh?
Except for calling the cops.
@@ejtprod.9837 shoulda contacted the cops.
If he was non white, yes.
But he was white, so no.
As a gun owner...I know I am 100% responsible for my weapons. If I had anyone in my home even remotely sketchy/suicidal/depressed...I would lock my guns up while they were in my home. I don't understand how, as this kids parents, you are that bad at reading your son to understand that he has issues and probably shouldn't be around firearms. I love having the right to own weapons...but you have to be able to take on that responsibility and understand the dangers involved in being a gun owner.
As a fellow gun owner I understand 100% where you’re coming from. However a lot of parents do have blinders on when it comes to the kids. It’s possible they either never noticed or thought it was normal. I think he said, I think charging his parents with involuntary manslaughter is wrong
My dad is a gun owner his gun is in the safe 24/7 he’s the only person in the home to know the code and the bullets are not in the same safe. Because if someone were to get into it. They could not harm a anyone easily. I mean easily by they won’t have to go get bullets as the cops would hopefully have them in custody. But still I think for a gun owner you HAVE to be 21+ just like drinking. The reason is because hopefully your Brain is more developed
Guns are evil and should be banned
Kidding
@@ophiolatreia93 not gonna lie you had me going for a second
@@kt420ish then why other countries are banning guns and still nobody makes them, for me that s just an excuse and guns aren't the only thing you can defend your self with, plus if everyone doesn't have the right to own a gun you would not be indangerded by someone using a gun that means you won't need it too.
This is what happen when parents don’t hold any accountable for their children and expect other to be responsible for their kids. 100% on the parents.
What can a teacher do when she reports a student's misconduct, and Admin either doesn't pull the student or sends the child right back into the class? Teachers need to have more autonomy than they have because they certainly get blamed for what some of their students do. The teacher didn't fail in this situation but may become a scapegoat as I've already seen in at least one comment saying the teacher should have taken the drawing. The teacher REPORTED it! Taking the drawing wouldn't have stopped this tragedy. Reporting it as the teacher did should have stopped it. However, those in power sided with the parents and sent the student back to class. Lay the blame where it should be - it's not the teacher's fault.
The parents look diabolical. I’m wondering if they instigated the kid /set him up to do this. The whole family seems sick.
I mean….they did buy him the gun…..it was his “present” for the bullies I’m sure..
That's absurd.
@UCcfhPZqJ9o2Sn9DX3y9t4qw lol...You're crazy
The prosecutor is going to loose this case and look like a fool … can’t be convicted of manslaughter for this … prosecutor should be fired for pursuing this.
@@CorryGal You sound like a broken record...
What kind of parent says not to get caught? Part of parenting requires holding children accountable to their actions and talking to them and finding the reason for them acting out the way they do. Imagine if these people did their job as parents? Four other precious young lives would still be with us today.
Amen!
You would be surprised how many parents do this, especially bigots and racists. They pat their kids on the back and laugh with them.
Very bad parents and unfortunately the child’s life will be over now and so will theirs
Bad parents. People who shouldn't be parents!
Basically very horrible parents probably encouraged running away, committing crimes, and enabled their child not to take responsibility for their actions.
If you let teenagers come to your house and drink alcohol and if the police get called you as the adult will go to jail well this is the same thing ...why would parents buy a 15 year old a gun🙄 last I checked you had to atleast be 18 to carry a gun in the state of MI ..so yes the parents need to be charged.
But can hunt at the age of 12. The adult is responsible for they're actions till 16 than they on there own.
I think the DA is doing the right thing. 👏👏👏👏
The parents definitely had a big role in it, and they are most definitely on the run hiding behind a lawyer just like the dirty Laundries.
those four kids, rest in piece. i just cant put in words what the family is going through, 😰🙏🏻
It's rest in peace. Have a good day!
It's almost like they groomed him for this.
Wounding and killing so many, yes he was well trained.
I see a lot of comments mentioning how the teacher should be held responsible, but just as a reminder: it’s not the teacher’s position to pick the punishment of the student. They did everything they could to warn admin, going as far as to take photographs. I definitely think Admin is partly responsible for not taking the teachers warnings more seriously, but being angry at the teacher is misplaced blame
I bet the principle, counselor and teacher feel horrible. The parents don't, I'm sure.

Yup, they most likely WILL be held without bail because they've already shown they're a flight risk! They're SCREWED.

The "parents" and school employee NEED to go to jail.
Agree 💯
Teachers and school officials have a law enforced ‘duty to warn’, I’m stunned that they let him back in a classroom…I’m also stunned that his parents could be so unbelievably pathetic to not only not take him home, not secure the firearm, text him ‘just make sure you don’t get caught’, and now they are on the run, and their very disturbed 15yo is facing life in prison…hmm…wonder why this kid turned out why he did? I hope they throw the book at those parents, and I disagree that its a difficult case to make, at least against the mother (although both parents are both responsible for securing a deadly firearm) but her texts…she’s hung her self by her own petard, as my Dad would say. The school has some serious questions to answer as to why they did not send him home, they could have said, we’re suspending him for a week until we know he’s in counseling, or called 911 to have him taken for a psych eval at a hospital if the parent’s refused to take him, which they did…now they’re on the run…where they live, its about 45 min to Canada, or a real long drive to Mexico…if they have passports, Canada hadn’t heard about it yet…they could be sipping Margaritas in Central America or somewhere that doesn’t extradite. I would not be in the least bit surprised…and they’ll let their son rot (I’m not disputing he should pay for his crimes, but also have a thorough psychological evaluation also) and disregard all of the suffering parents, family and friends, and every student at that school. Disgusting.
Sorry with the liberal teachers in schools they are anti police and they believe that bringing law enforcement into their student's lives would be a sell out to their students that is what's wrong with this country is too many liberal teachers that are anti-police
I don’t think schools have much power these days to be honest.. kids right now are wild and there doesn’t seem to be consequences. A lot parents tell the school that the kids are their problem.
The parents were quick to lawyer up and speak to no one as soon as their murderous child was arrested. It isn't at all surprising that they are now on the lamb.The whole thing stinks.
Uh, well that is about the only thing that makes sense in this - wouldn't you get a lawyer if your son was just ARRESTED FOR MURDER? If not then THAT would be odd - again what they did is HORRIBLE and they should be held accountable to the FULLEST extent of the law but of course you lawyer up when your child is arrested, nothing odd in that at all.
Obviously they'll need a lawyer and most of the time they recommend their clients to stay low and not say too much. But they aren't making themselves look innocent with those texts and such.

About time we started holding the parents of those kids accountable. Bad parents produce bad kids. Time to end it.
This is such a heartbreaking tragedy..i pray for all involved..this has been felt by the nation..
The school has to take some responsibility also. In my opinion. They are absolutely negligent in this also.
They did supply a gun, unlawfully I might add, that was used in a mass shooting. Of course they're being charged.
Why does the kid look so much like Nikolas Cruz?
Just read that they're in custody. Good to hear.
They had nothing to do with the shooting pull your head out of your ass
@@charlesarmstrongii6843 the father literally bought the gun for the kid. They also were called in on the day, knew what their kid was saying, knew he had access to a firearm, but did nothing. Criminal negligence at least.
Well I guess nobody gets it really the idiot of a prosecutor said right from the beginning they are going to move the needle to full on Gun Control!!! 2nd of all the kid can personally put a lawsuit on the Judge in Federal Court and the same with the parents as well for the judge violating their 8th amendment right the most the judge can impose on the parents is 30,000 on each parent in this country we have every right to a bail but nobody brings this up at anytime they just take what the judge says and there is no judge or law that says you have to sign off on your rights and people can also refuse to let the judge enter a plea on their behalf as well people really need to pull their heads out of their asses when it comes to court if there is a fine pertaining to a charge the judge can not go above that fine it’s your 8th amendment right
My Prayers go out to the families that lost there child or were hurt by this hanious crime.
No teenager needs to have a pistol.
The kid , doomed from the get go, what type of parents leave a son behind when the going gets tough.
"Trying to cover up, after the horse has left the barn!" Is how grandpa referred to this kind of crap!
It's being said, that this couple had arrests for DUI. Check fraud, and failure to pay child support in Florida?
Florida man strikes again
Your absolutely right !!!Sorry for the parents who babies have been murder.😢💔
The school should be held accountable as well.
Nah
- My kid shows suicidal tendencies
- omg what did you do?
- We bought him a gun
The School threat response plans need investigating as well. How was he not searched in the presence of Police and his parents, not suspended and not allowed to return until he had got the help they said he needed. Condolences to everyone affected and the community.
Broken system, needs to be fix asap.
I don’t think the police were in the meeting with the student, parents and school officials the morning of the shooting. Had they been, this most likely won’t have happened because I can’t imagine that the police wouldn’t have searched his backpack or locker?
I rather be sued then have innocent kids die on my watch. oh boy should've went home period!!
And their son is alone in jail, worse parenting. You'll think they will stay with his son no matter what but look at these people
It's looking more and more like the idiot parents NEVER cared about that kid.
What type of parent gives a gun to a 15 year old child? SMH
I’m sorry but don’t the school administrators have a duty to protect the students? I think charges need to be brought against school administrators for allowing him to go back to class instead of suspending and sending him home with the parents. This tragedy should have and could have been prevented
We need more mental health availability, im so sorry for the people not able to get help and dealing with this, just know you are loved trust me there is someone out there who really cares for you, you just got to wait and be patient, you may feel all this sadness right now but its only temporary, if you win this fight against mental health you will become a powerful person no doubt.
The teacher did every thing right. This is so sad 😔
Who buys their 15yr old son a gun for Christmas?????? This is so disturbing and sad to say the least.
Thank you the presentation of this case was very good just presenting the facts with know drama Thank you once again 🙋♂️🇬🇧
If the parents feared for their own safety, they should have gone to their local law enforcement office.
All of this makes me sick!! You know as a real parent that protects his son and looks out for his safety, everyone of these people failed those victims and you can’t say, they did all they can, because if they did those children would be alive!!!
i swear when i was in kindergarten there was a kid in middle school that looked EXACTLY like the SUSpect
The “parents”, just desert their son and run /hide, like children!
Yes, they share responsibility!
Why was he allowed to go back to class I’m baffled why at least they didn’t search him and his backpack I’m so sad and so mad
Like be suspended... or can't come back to school unless he has a certain amount of counseling
You can tell the father values human life very little. Like they're telling him his son just ran over somebody's dog.
School district dropped the ball also. Should have called the police much earlier. Way before the shooting. SMH
Yes or at least bring security to school just in case
what an unbelievable tragedy....man.
What about the school officials that let him go back to class when they knew there was a real problem .
It's also Criminal that after all that the school let him go back to class.
The parents and the school should be held responsible for not stopping this from happening.
Exactly!!! The teacher should have called the police
When I was in school that Student
would have been in the office
talking with Police and Parents
Police would have asked him if he
had a weapon " Police would have
searched his desk locker the
bathroom and any other area he
may have been in .
Student would have been arrested
If they found any weapons Police
would have questioned Parents as
to how when and where did he get
the weapon or weapons
The school administrators did not
do their job " They should be fired
Yes absolutely
Avoidable tragedy on many levels. Many people should be held liable.
Yeah, I'm so confused. We've seen a school resource officer snatch a girl out of a chair after a teacher demanded she be removed for having a cell phone in class. And they're claiming there was nothing they could do about this? Wth?
Most of these school officials are there for a paycheck and the pension plan. The teacher notified the principle about the finding but school office just take it as another day at the office/ATM machine. Wonder if these school official ever goes to church?
Did the parents pull a Brian Laundrie? 👀
Teacher’s not at fault, but whatever school administrator see him back to class after that note should resign. He should have been sent home with parents. And not allowed back to school until AFTER a Mental Health Assessment.. by a mental health professional, concluded he wasn’t a present risk to himself or others. That’s what we do where I live. Every ‘threat’ is assumed active.
They didn't know he had a gun. Well, I retrospect , they should have sent him back
School officials have a degree of fault too! They have all this evidence and turn the kid loose back in school? Would be like a Shepard checking the teeth of a wolf and turning it out into his flock of sheep.
Resignations coming I bet!
A great quote from mom
“What’s done is done , try not to get caught “WoW
So sad 💔
The problem with school officials and parents was that spoiled kids find ways to get their parents to sue schools or individuals. Because they made them feel sad or took their things away when some kids DO NEED DISCIPLINE so schools I believe fear getting sued or cited. Very sad this is how it is now and forcing to take your kid home could cause trouble so they let him stay.
We've all seen how threatening and radicalized a certain group of parents have become. The school may have been trying to avoid such confrontations. But no doubt, the shooter should have never been allowed to returned to class.
Have you checked out videos on Ethan Crumbley? He had a youtube channel since he was like 10. In those, he seemed pretty nice. Weird how he grows into this guy he is today.
It's not the schools job at all to discipline any child.
Parents often tend to blame and sue the schools as they fail to parent appropriately. SMH
@@EtherealAriel yes that’s why I say kids are spoiled by some parents and then schools cannot enforce rules on them like taking phones up because kids use them inappropriately. Like in Some schools or centers teachers can’t take students things away anymore since parents give phone to kids for safety purposes.
The parents and school administration should be charged ain't no way that kid should've been allowed back in that classroom. It's sad that kids can't even be kids anymore and feel safe going to school. We as parents have to do better for our kids and their kids future. Rips to the young ones ❤
Finally the parents are blamed! It's always "Gun bad! Kid Bad! Left Bad!, Right Bad!, Ban Guns!"
Prayers family
@5:10 "No school officials have been charged in this shooting" ... yet. I'd bet they are in the back seat of that black SUV.
They had enough information to expel the student with information the teachers had given. Leadership at that school failed to recognize an unstable children in a home that encouraged his thoughts and had fully intention to act on how he feels.
Unfortunately even if they sent him home he might have just shown up the next day. I think when threats or concerns shown on school grounds police or some type of task force needs to make intervention, do a safety assessment above the parent and school authority asap
Prayers for survivors and families, and families of those who passed.♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏
Complete disregard for life!
Imagine having to go back to that school…
This kid didn't come from a single mother household and just goes to show that single mother's are not the problem the problem is people are not being taught empathy.
Parents made excuses for their child instead of teaching him that other people have feelings and feel pain and fear and it's not ok to hurt people.
12 messed up again 🤦🏻♂️
Smh just crazy.
Prayers to all of the victims families! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wonder if the parents were ever afraid that he'd use the gun on them?
Pls lock this parent up. They knew there crazy son was up to no good. Crazy ppl
This is horrible all the way around. What makes it even more horrible is the fact that this could have been easily preventable in so many ways. This situation isn't only heart breaking but absolutely infuriating! He and his parents should be locked up 25 to life! So disgusting that the parents could have done something but didn't!
Unbelievable
