Ethan Crumbley's Mom Confronted Him After School Shooting

Shocking video shows the moment the mother of school shooter Ethan Crumbley confronted him for the first time after he murdered four students. After the brief encounter ends, Crumbley was only concerned about his cat, Dexter. The video of the confrontation was played for the jury at the trial of Ethan Crumbley's mother, Jennifer. She's on trial for manslaughter, the first time a parent has been tried for killings committed by their child.

He had problems with violence before and the parents go out and buy him guns. Real smart.

His parents knew he was having mental health issues, yet they gave him a gun? Crazy.

The fact that she suspected her son of being the shooter before actually knowing is all I need to know..

[bradygolden]

The fact that he begged for help, signaled for help in every way, and his parents ignored him and mocked him for asking for a therapist make them at the very least negligent & abusive parents.

He won’t ever see his cat again that’s for sure

[Swansong]

The parents look SO different now..especially the mother...

[prodbytarantino]

The shooter himself reached out to his parents for help and they literally laughed in his face and told him to “suck it up.” The audacity to act like he’s never done anything bad, or be shocked at his lack of emotion is crazy. They knew he had issues and did nothing. They’re just as guilty as he is tbh.

Why? Why?
Because you gave your mentally ill kid access to a gun and even took him to the range to learn how to use it.

The problem with parents these days is they want to go out and have fun and not raise their kids. Stop having them if your not going to raise them.

Mother: "He's never done anything bad!"

Uhhh...he drew pictures of him shooting people that he knew in his notebook, he asked you for a gun for Christmas, you took him to the shooting range, and you were aware of his mental problems.

😒 Real Smooth, mother.

Why ? Ask yourself.A kiddo doesnt go on a rampage if the house is in order

[FUB]

Both of his parents enabled this. All 3 of them should be in prison TOGETHER.

[CarlosBenjamin]

“He’s never done anything bad!” Can’t believe how many parents have said this about their little ‘Johnny’ or ‘Janie’ who was a straight up bully.

[FDR-wwxz]

They gave their son a gun. They should be the ones to be asked “Why?”

[damnimloomin]

It’s telling he was worried his parents would not take care of his cat like they neglected him

[BradiKal]

The kid once texted his mom that he was home and was worried that he was hallucianting and begged her to come check on him and she said, "Im going to get drunk and ride my horse".

THAT tells you everything about how this monster was raised.

[robinblades]

Why isn't anyone talking about the teachers and counselor that thought it was a good idea to let him go back to class AFTER the parents refused to take him home?! There needs to be more accountability with the school administration

[AngelsCrowning]

this is disgusting, showing no remorse after killing four innocent lives? what the hell is wrong with you.

[jimkelly]

So incredibly irresponsible of his parents to buy him a handgun knowing full well he had emotional problems.

She was ready to walk out until she saw the camera. Only, then did she stop and ask him why. She also told the deputy, "He did it, he'll have to suffer". This kid didn't have a chance with these parents.
