In fact, the mother, who, together with her husband, bought the firearm, has been found guilty of four counts of involuntary manslaughter. The husband is yet to be tried.
Apart from buying the firearm used in the massacre, the shooter's parents refused to believe their son's claims of mental health issues and failed to get him assessed or treated. They also walked out of a meeting at the school on the morning of the shooting and declined to take their disturbed son home.
However, I recall discussing parents' responsibilities with my late brother who was a barrister. He said that there is a long established principle in English law that parents can't be held responsible for the actions of their children. In the American case, the mother was found guilty because her actions directly contributed to deaths.
