  The parents of the kid need to held just as responsible as the school.
  
  So you do think the school should be sued.
context: TBH, it astounds me that there isn't strict CRIMINAL liability for adults who, through their own negligence, allow children under 12 to get their hands on guns and use them to injure anyone else.
  For example, the parent(s) of the 6-year-old in Newport News, VA who shot his teacher a couple of months back should be IN JAIL and that child in the legal custody of other family members. >
  
  Agreed. Except now a poor-ish school district will be sued. >
  
  The school should be sued; did you hear what happened? Three times faculty was told the 6 year old had a gun and no one did anything… >
  
  That wasn’t my point. The point is a poor funded district loses more money and what do people think will happen? Staff are going to body search elementary kids? Metal detectors in school? Zero tolerance policies? All the things people complained about a few years ago. The parents of the kid need to held just as responsible as the school. If not, then the schools hands are tied and these disasters continue.
