"Michigan School Shooter's Mother Admits Ignoring Son's Pleas for Help with Voices in Trial"

Jennifer Crumbley, the mother of the Michigan school shooter Ethan Crumbley, testified in her own defense, denying negligence and claiming a close relationship with her son. She admitted to ignoring his texts about mental health struggles and paranormal fears, but denied mocking his cries for help. The prosecution alleges that she and her husband ignored Ethan's pleas for mental health support, and that they failed to take action despite red flags. Crumbley also faced scrutiny for her extramarital affair and her actions in the aftermath of the shooting, including emptying her son's bank account and attempting to flee.
