When are we gonna start making the parents accountable for this shit. You know it was a teen

@msrachelswife 19 is an adult. But yes, when juveniles are guilty, hold the parents accountable. I saw a report that Tennessee (I think) will require child support from anyone who kills a parent with minor children.

PARENTS- get control of your kids!
