Jesse Waters Primetime on Fox ‘Parents cannot be stupid anymore’: Elizabeth Scherer

Former Parkland Judge Elizabeth Scherer appeared on ‘Jesse Watters Primetime’ to discuss the involuntary manslaughter convictions of Jennifer and James Crumbley, parents of the Oxford High School shooter. She emphasized that this landmark ruling sets a precedent, holding parents accountable for their children’s actions when negligence is evident. Scherer stated, “Parents cannot be stupid anymore,” highlighting the necessity for parental responsibility in preventing such tragedies.

The Crumbleys were sentenced to 10-15 years in prison after being found guilty of providing their son access to the firearm used in the 2021 Michigan school shooting. This case marks a significant shift in legal accountability, as it’s one of the first instances where parents have been held criminally responsible for their child’s involvement in a school shooting.

Judge Scherer’s insights underscore the evolving legal landscape concerning parental responsibility and firearm access, reflecting a growing emphasis on preventing gun violence through comprehensive accountability measures.
