"Columbine Survivor Warns of Dangerous Precedent as Crumbley Parents Sentenced for Involuntary Manslaughter"

Columbine survivor Craig Scott warns that the sentencing of Ethan Crumbley's parents to 10-15 years in prison for their son's school shooting sets a dangerous precedent by removing responsibility from the teenager, who "knew what he was doing." Scott believes the decision could make parents more cautious but ultimately shifts blame away from the criminal. The historic ruling has sparked speculation about its impact on future cases involving minors, as it marks the first time parents have been held criminally responsible for a mass shooting perpetrated by their child.
