There's nothing she's legally responsible for. The concept of punishing the entire family for the actions of one of its members is a favorite tactic among the far left and was commonly done in the USSR.

The idea is basically that an apple reflects the tree it came from.

I think part of the argument is that he's a minor? Again, I don't have a full understanding of the legalities. I'm more concerned with the public reaction, it sort of feels like people are foaming at the mouth to point the finger at a woman, like an overcompensation or something.

I mean, they want to try him as an adult though, right? I mean which is it.

The left is also in favor of allowing children to decide that they were "born in the wrong body".

So again, which is it? Children ARE responsible enough to make major decisions, or they aren't?
