‘Groundbreaking’: Mother of US school shooter found guilty of involuntary manslaughter

Sky News contributor Megyn Kelly says there’s been a “groundbreaking” case in the US with a jury finding a mother guilty of involuntary manslaughter after her son carried out a fatal school shooting. Ms Kelly said rather than getting their son the help the mental health help he needed, his parents gave him a gun. “The morning of the shooting they called the parents to the school to say he’s done these very disturbing drawings," she told Sky News host Paul Murray. “It didn’t take an expert to see this kid’s in serious trouble and could be potentially a threat, and the parents kind of laughed it off and said ‘well we don’t want to take him home, we have to go back to work’. “Four kids were killed, many others were hurt. And so for the first time that I know of, a jury has now said the mother is criminally responsible – they found her ... guilty of involuntary manslaughter and the dad goes on trial next."
