#LeelahAlcorn's parents threw her in front of that truck. They should be ashamed—but 1st they need to be shamed. Charges should be brought.

@fakedansavage@samueloakford Dan, charging the parents of suicides, even ghoulish ones, with manslaughter is a very bad idea. - View other replies

@spiderstumbled@fakedansavage@samueloakford Analyzing legal precedent not the point - the parents are complicit in this girls death. -
@Jhoratio@fakedansavage@samueloakford not every tragedy can be averted by criminalizing shitty parenting. - View other replies

.
@spiderstumbled@Jhoratio@samueloakford We make a distinction between "shitty parenting" and criminally reckless parenting. - View other replies

@fakedansavage@Jhoratio@samueloakford Good luck drafting that distinction into legislation. - View other replies

@spiderstumbled@Jhoratio@samueloakford Kids are taken from their parents when the authorities determine that their homes are too filthy. -
@fakedansavage@Jhoratio@samueloakford but yo'ure talking about charging people with manslaughter, not changing custody status.

@fakedansavage Can we talk about how homeschool leaders oppose homeschool regulation b/c it might stop parents from doing what Leelah's did -
@fakedansavage@samueloakford If we can charge moms for leaving their kids to play in the park, we can charge them for this. -

@fakedansavage Is there precedent for that? Not taking sides here, it's a horrible story. - Show more
