NEWPORT NEWS — The Newport News Education Association President condemned the premise of the school division’s motion to dismiss Abigail Zwerner’s pending $40 million lawsuit.
The motion was filed last week by attorneys representing the School Board and argues that Zwerner, who was shot in her classroom at Richneck Elementary in January by a 6-year-old student, is only entitled to file a worker’s compensation claim because the injury she sustained from the shooting is a “workplace injury,” and that the shooting was a hazard of the job.
Charging parents for kids crimes will just be used as a weapon to lock up parents that authorities don't like. The only way to stop school shootings is to have better gun laws in the first place, as unpopular as that might be in America.
Maybe true to an small extent, but if you own a firearm and have a kid in the house, it's your responsibility to ensure they can't access it. Responsible gun ownership should be the norm and expectation, and to an extent legally required as well.

What happened to holding the parent liable for what their kids do? Like the Oxford MI shooting the parents were charged. Lets keep doing that, keep charging the parents for the kids crimes. Maybe parents will take a more vested interest in what the fuck their kids are doing, watching, websites they are viewing.
