[quote=Anonymous]The father is charged because he bought a 13 year old an AR15 rifle and ammunition after having a sit down with the Sheriff’s office about posted threats made by his kid.

The FBI does not interview every person about every threat made on line.  They do pass along information to local authorities if their team believes further investigation is warranted.  That was done with this kid.  An interview was conducted and a determination made by the Sheriff’s department not to take additional action.  Then, after the interview, Dad bought the kid his own AR15.  Eight months later the kid used his AR15 to shoot up his school.

Dad obviously ignored the issues his kid was having and bought his 13 year old a gun for a Christmas present.  The gun was then used by the kid to kill others.  What we do not know at this point - was the gun and ammunition locked in a gun safe that the kid was able to smash open to obtain?  Or were they easily accessible?

Judging by the charges - it seems unlikely that the gun and ammunition were locked up in a manner the kid could not easily defeat - if at all.  In the Michigan cases parents of a school shooter were convicted of manslaughter charges and serving lengthy sentences.

These charges are going to be normal and expected now when your child hurts others.
