The police in Houston detained a person after an 11-year-old boy was shot on Saturday night, officials said.

Note that it happened just before 11pm, not the middle of the day like in more innocent times. Not saying that any 11 yo deserves to be shot, simply that this is an unreasonable hour for an innocent prank. 11 is way too young to be out at night with a pack of unsupervised kids. Parenting failure.[/quote]

He will be charged with murder so I would say it’s the home owner’s failure. You don’t shoot a kid in the back no matter what he did. But knocking on a door?

Gun control please [/quote]

Failed parenting if your elementary school aged kid is roaming the neighborhood after dark. Not something a teenager should necessarily be doing either, but it is developmentally and socially more acceptable in our culture. You better believe these parents' parenting skills will also be going on trial. Defense attorney going to have a field day with that.[/quote]

You’re mentally ill to think a parent will be put in trial for someone else murdering their child. This is one sick, as in mentally ill, society to think this.[/quote]
