[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could the parents be held liable for bringing their unmedicated son into Costco?[/quote]
He was an adult, so unless he was declared incompetent and his parents given legal custody of him, no, they can’t be held legally responsible.  And even if they could, for what?  The cop’s ER bill to check his bruise?[/quote]

This has been a terrible nightmare for those parents, no question.  But they used their membership to get their son into Costco and they more than likely did have some sort of guardianship over him if he was mentally incapacitated.  I am NOT saying that they should be held liable for bringing him into the store, my question is COULD they be held responsible for bringing him into that store?[/quote]

And my answer was to the legal question of whether they could, not the philosophical question of whether they should.  Unless they had legal guardianship, they generally can’t be held responsible for his autonomous behavior.[/quote]

If they did have legal guardianship then they could be held responsible?[/quote]

You sound like a sick person.  The son is dead.  The parents in critical condition in the hospital for a week now, and you want to blame them for bringing their adult son into a store, where a trigger happy cop shot all 3 of them.  [/quote]
