How did the perp kid get his hands on a firearm? Is the gum registered or illegal? cdnpoli TOpoli
We need law that puts some responsibility on parents to supervise/understand/know their kids and be liable for their actions. The parents cannot just shrug their shoulders and express regret. Society needs to expect them to do their part.
