**This discussion is intended to only highlight issues related to the parental role.** Old news (and thread involving more issues locked for going off topic): > [@Oxford High school shooting in Michigan \[1-DEC-2021\]](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/oxford-high-school-shooting-in-michigan-1-dec-2021/955294/1): > > WOW. [Can you imagine this genius move?](https://www.insider.com/oxford-high-school-shooting-video-students-realize-gunman-said-bro-2021-12) Apparently, the kids in a barricaded room during the Oxford High school shooting had someone claiming to be a sheriff’s deputy trying to get them to open the door. The kids noticed that the “deputy” used the word ‘bro’, which is less than professional speech. They refused to open the door and began escaping out the window. Yowza, talk about being on the ball. I’m not sure I would’ve caught that. Note: Apologies if covered elsewhere, but did a reasonable search. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-much-are-parents-responsible-for-actions-of-their-children-crumbley-found-guilty-for-son-shooting/997406)._
