Parents have been charged for their child's involvement in a school shooting, most notably the landmark case of James and Jennifer Crumbley in Michigan, who were convicted of involuntary manslaughter after their son killed four students with a gun they purchased for him.
More recently, Colin Gray, the father of a Georgia school shooting suspect, also faced charges including murder and cruelty to children, reflecting a growing trend of holding parents criminally responsible for youth firearm access and negligence.
These cases focus on parental actions like providing the weapon, ignoring clear warning signs of violence, and failing to secure firearms, setting legal precedents for parental accountability in cases of child-involved gun violence
