If that's the case then she's getting in trouble for encouraging him to stop the shooting?

I think it would have been a huge red flag against her if the text came BEFORE the shooting. Sending the text during the shooting doesn't seem to indicate she knew what her son was planning to do.

the wisconsin guy is saying he is being treated terribly. I hope so. Keep it up

Then later, when the shootings started and good old mom texted her son to "don't do this", and then 15ish minutes later when papa called popo and said I think it's my son.

Now, given the situation that the kid got the gun, that the parents are probably aware he had it, and they didn't bring him home or at least to a doctor... welll, I think they get sued civily and probably charged in man slaughter. I'm so drunk I'm typing with on eye, so hopefully makes sense. Short form: Shitty parents get sued for letting loose cannon into school after several red flags he was gonna smoke some kids. Now whole family may get to be in the same penitentiary.

If you hear that there is a school shooting and your first thought is your kid is the one pulling the trigger.. you are probably the problem.

The dad apparently figured it out because he noticed one of his guns was missing and alerted the police.

Sending the text during the shooting tells me the mother knew her kid was capable of doing such a thing.. makes her culpable imo.

If there was a shooting at the school where my kids were attending, I wouldn't be checking my gun safe to make sure my gun was there because I've taught my children better and they wouldn't do something like that. My first thought would be to get to the school and get them out.. not to text them to say "Don't do this"

They did just go through a meeting with the principal a few minutes prior where the principal said their kid was drawing himself shooting other students.

I'm assuming the parents didn't think their son was actually going to shoot up his school but after the shooting started they probably came to that realization. If the DA manages to find some evidence to suggest otherwise then I think charging the parents makes perfect sense. As it is the DA is basically blaming the parents for not being clairvoyant while giving the school officials a pass even though as far as we know the school officials had the exact same information the parents did.
