Firearm legally purchased by mother in York County.
6yo currently receiving treatment at a medical facility.
Very surprised that the parents have not been charged for the child having access to the gun.Am I the only one that finds it incredibly odd that charges haven't been filed against anyone yet?
I'm trying to reason it out and that doesn't really make sense to me.
I mean, he's 6.
It's not like he's an experienced criminal mastermind that can outsmart LE about where he procured his weapon.
I'd have to go back and listen again but I believe the Chief of Police did say "parents" of the boy.I'm beginning to think a single parent situation. No mention of father. IMO
Controversial view of mine, so what, I would vote life with no parole for every single case like this where their CHILD gets access to a gun in their own home! Disgusting and criminal imo.

Ellie, which country? Tell me Fiji and we can be friendsThank goodness I live in a country where no handguns held legally and so can't be potentially left lying around for children to find and use. My heart goes out to the teacher and to the child in this case, too young to understand the long term implications of their actions. Hoping for a speedy recovery for the teacher and good therapy for them both.
You're correct he did say parents but then said that they met with the mother. Nothing wrong with that, I'm just observing here. She bought the gun legally so she obviously felt that she needed it for protection. I'm just nosey.I'd have to go back and listen again but I believe the Chief of Police did say "parents" of the boy.
It sounded to me like, they're going to go over any history with child protective services, see what (if any, although you'd think they'd already know this) history is there, and then decide how best to proceed (either charges, or not).
It probably sounds crazy but what if the gun was actually secured at home and the kid figured out a way to get it anyway?
I mean, we're already in crazy mode when 6 year olds are taking a loaded gun to school to shoot their teacher so... I guess it's possible.
I know we will not get much information on this case due to his age but I can't help but wonder about his home life and what was going on in this little fellow's head.Hmmm, here's what I got from the press conference.
Abby is a hero!
Child possibly haz some serious anger issues..... ( Pointing, and firing a gun at a human being, AND fighting with the school employee who restrained him)
Mother of child purchased the legally obtained firearm.
I got nuthin ( So many more questions!! )
