While I was raising my own kids, I've talked to plenty of other parents who also have kids that do stuff like this. The kind of stuff that if they didn't see it happen with their own eyes, they'd never believe it. It happens.
Do I think that's what happened in this case? Honestly, I don't know. I know what the parent's statement said, and I know there's been no charges, so what does that say? To me it says, it's entirely possible the parent's statement was 100% factual, and LE cannot find a single thing to charge them with.
Quote RSBM. I understand what you are saying.
Perhaps the letter of the law wasn't broken, or if it was, LE can't yet prove it was.
But I still maintain a small child in their parents' care doing something like bringing a gun to school is the parents' moral and legal responsibility, even if they "really didn't think he could." I mean they knew the gun was there in the home and knew he was sometimes a violent kid. IMO.
