Sometimes I wonder if there ought to be criminal penalties, along the lines of the felony murder rule, for parents who fail, or neglect, to teach their children not to do these things.

My children knew not to take things that didn't belong to them, and not go into places they weren't invited. Just those two ideas would eliminate a lot of unhappiness. Not all, of course, but it would be a start.

If they catch his accomplice, he should be charged with murder since he was complicit in the cause of his death. I'm also curious as to how a16 year old is former student? I doubt that he was so advanced that he graduated early, just judging by his lack of intelligence in kicking in a door, my kids all had to stay in school or charges would have been brought against me. Do the laws vary in Everman regarding school attendance? He could have sure used more education.

Yep regular choir boy I guess they don't teach them not to break in where there are no signs banning weapons in Everman
