    Nothing fits into a perfect box, but if you breed you are responsible for the outcome until 18 regardless. If you think your kid might shoot someone… it’s your job to prevent that.

    Not everyone is qualified to be a parent.

      A six year old is very unlikely to fully grasp what they are doing, and a parent wouldn’t necessarily “think their kid might shoot someone”.

        Yes I agree. However, a six-year-old child does not randomly get the idea to take a gun to school and shoot a teacher. They get it from somewhere. They may not fully understand, but that doesn’t matter. I’m just happy that parent is in jail. I hope they do not get released early, and I hope they do not ever get to be that child guardian again

      Nobody knows how parenthood will turn out, my friend. Nobody is qualified to decide who is qualified… Good.

        I agree. And if it ends up that you weren’t qualified, that might be a jail sentence. Good.
