Parents - - and particularly men - - need to effing step up, start being responsible fathers, and be willing to make tough decisions that will not always be well received by the kid.

He was 22 years old at some point he needs to grow the **** up and be a responsible human being. I'm quite sure by looking at him he lacked a ton of attention as a kid, but at some point common sense and adult behavior must come into play.

I saw the dad try to claim he wasn't aware of the threats his son made.
Parents do hold a ton of responsibility but at 22 he has to know better. I was a wild kid and my parents bought me several guns prior to turning 18 I didn't go out and partake in a mass shooting. The generation of this kid is a complete mess from parents to schooling and a big part is social media.
You know the last thing you can do in America today is single anyone out due to look. Hell 50% of kids his age I see look like "weirdo's". For the record I agree with you as he stood out like a sore thumb to me, but to go on record and "discriminate" against him due to my opinion is definitely a no no these days.
You're not wrong, but there's no legal avenue to require men to become "responsible" fathers when there's little agreement what "responsible" would even mean. As an alternative, we need to expand legal liability for enabler parents who allow adult children to live with them while buying and storing guns and ammunition obviously not intended for self-protection or hunting.This kid had a troubling history and was completely fvcked up, yet his father enabled this tragedy.

My post was a societal assessment rather than a legal one.You're not wrong, but there's no legal avenue to require men to become "responsible" fathers when there's little agreement what "responsible" would even mean.

This is not entirely a new idea. In most places, parents are already liable for acts of their children up to a certain age that varies by locale:
Parental Liability Basics - FindLaw
Parental liability for the actions of their children, whether it's for civil actions or criminal acts, varies by jurisdiction and by situation. Learn about this and more at FindLaw's Family Law Center.
Under that kind of statute, the parents' liability usually does not depend whether they actually knew their 13-year-old was getting ready to throw a cinder block through a plate glass window or to spraypaint graffiti on a house. They are liable nonetheless.
But for some reason, the law seems to leave parents of adult children in the clear, even when they know their adult child is disturbed but they still allow him to collect firearms and ammunition for storage in their house while they ignore the dangers to themselves and the public.
Parental love is important, but parents should still be legally liable when their offspring opens fire on the public and they could have prevented it. Parents should not have legal immunity in these cases. They should not have any legal rights to either (1) keep their assets, or (2) pass their assets through inheritance to their other adult children, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews or other zygotes. Period.

Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting - Wikipedia

Lanza was known by his parents to have "depression, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder." His parents' assets should go to Lanza's victims, not to his relatives.
Sorry it came across that way. I thought some clarification was necessary.
You may have been a wild kid but you didn't have this kid's history.
Uh, if you entrust your car to an idiot, you could be held liable for what the idiot does with your car.
Serious manboobs.The dad is a royal douchebag.
Crimo dad washes hands of guilt but talked with son about a mass shooting night before Highland Park massacre — New York Post

I don't know. The kid was 22. At what point do the parents not matter. I am 58. My mom and dad are 78. If I go out and do some horrific act, should they be charged as well? I get it, to a degree if a 16 year old, living at home, did something. 22? not sure.
Good news...he has retained R. Kelly's lawyer. Can prison be far behind?The dad is a royal douchebag.

Read the news story Noodle posted.
Admittingly, I have not read up on this specific event, so there probably is much more that you know about it than me. I just know that there are situations where good parents, who have 3 really good kids, but one child is lost. i think if the parents really assisted him, then yea, maybe they should be held partially responsible. That may open up a big can of worms though.
Didn't he help him get the guns by signing off on the gun permit and thus enabling his son to commit the massacre?
I refuse to participate in a thread where the OP plays Toby Keith music.

I agree it is a gross failure of common sense. Being a parent the hardest part of admitting your kid has issues is the admitting he/she has issues. Bad parents overlook the obvious and some try to use their buying or authorization to make things better for little Johnny, it definitely is a destructive way of thinking.
